Hi all,
I have just one syntatic wish for Apoc4 (which in all other points I
find utterly fantastic).
Could we have:
foreach $item in @arr {...}
Instead of
foreach @arr -> $item {...}
I find the first one:
- Much more pleasent to the eyes and less noisy on a long program.
- Easie
Sorry for the 4 times posts, i was testing a new mail program and it
didn't prove too good.
Now i feel so ashamed :-[

The two current examples of an evil expression block are do {} and eval {},
which require a semicolon terminator. However, with eval {} leaving, that
leaves just do {}, which does (or should) fall more in line of thinking of
grep {}, map {}, and sort {}: the other expression blocks. For do {}
Interestingly, this one tweak to the whitespace rule also means that we'll
be able to simplify the parentheses out of other similar built-in constructs:
if $foo { ... }
elsif $bar { ... }
else { ... }
while $more { ... }
for 1..10 { ... }
I think throwing out two required
No examples are given, but are we to assume that this:
for ($x = 0; $x < 100; $x++) {
...
}
becomes this:
loop $x=0; $x < 100; $x++ {
...
}
How would you use an $x lexically scoped to the loop block?
Most of the other constructs seem to be using a '-> $x' constr
Why the double semantics of 'when'?
It implicitly breaks when used as a 'when' block, but does not as a 'when'
statement. It seems that a when should be a when should be a when, and a
when being a when would be a win.
The example given:
given $x {
warn("Odd value")when

You're treating do, if, foreach as if they were keywords. I'm not
entirely sure that that's still the case. And you're also forgetting
the possibility of user implemented control type operators/methods.
Unless I'm very much mistaken you're suggesting that we special case
the parser for 'do' and a

'do' perhaps. But not really. And it's irrelevant to my argument.

This just popped up from my sig file:
Plus I remember being impressed with Ada because you could write an
infinite loop without a faked up condition. The idea being that in Ada
the typical infinite loop would be normally be terminated by detonation.
