I suspect there are copy-paste errors on the delete sections of the new text: ... the +normal way to test for existence is to apply the C:delete adverb to a +subscripting operation. The :delete adverb tests for existence? -y On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 6:09 AM, GitHub nore...@github.com wrote: Branch: refs/heads/master Home: https://github.com/perl6/specs Commit: 126dd3b3cca08f6e94bba9cc409520078c35088d https://github.com/perl6/specs/commit/126dd3b3cca08f6e94bba9cc409520078c35088d Author: Elizabeth Mattijsen l...@dijkmat.nl Date: 2013-09-30 (Mon, 30 Sep 2013) Changed paths: M S32-setting-library/Containers.pod Log Message: --- Mark .exists and .delete as deprecated, use :exists and :delete instead

Re: Defining Perl 6 for the masses
There are two issues here. a) Using language in a consistent manner in Perl6 space - the word 'specification' is used in Perl6 space both in the way it has become acceptable in computer language design circles, but also in a new and more nuanced way in Perl6. - Perl6 is being developed using Larry Wall's 'whirlpool' model, as opposed to the 'waterfall' model, and this has an impact on the use of 'specification'. - The result of this double use is a sort of schizophrenia in Perl6's documentation when it comes to defining itself. - Possibly the schizophrenia is useful - a manifestion of junctions :) b) Educating the world about Perl6 - There are several attempts to address this issue. - The problems addressed by Parrot Raiser exist and are understood by many of the developers. - My guess is that it will be solved in multiple ways. - We should remember that the way today's mature languages, such as Perl5, C, Fortran etc are taught today has been developed over many years.

I want to start by making it clear that I'm not criticising the design of Perl 6, or any of the people working so hard to make it great. I'm just trying to address what I see as an obstacle to its adoption, (but may smply be my personal limitations). I've been following the project from the beginning, and have Perl 6 and Parrot (2nd. ed), http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596007379.do which I understand is no longer relevant. snip
