Fuzzy Logic Functions: An Overview

by jeorgen (Pilgrim)

Given the recent postings about Genetic Programming or breeding Perls and about new syntax for terminating a program ("or die trying"), who knows what new perl keywords might come up?

The humorous page Fuzzy Logic Functions An Overview gives some new keywords and constructs that would fit hand-in-glove with a more powerful, eerily

humanoid|scary alien intelligence
version of perl.

My favourite from the page mentioned above is this one:

while holdon

while (EXPR) BLOCK holdon (EXPR) BLOCK

This works like a standard while loop at first, but at some point the function realizes it's been bringing personal issues into the evaluation in an inappropriate manner and begins to evaluate the expression named by holdon instead in an attempt to appear reasonable.

This is not that far from, say, backtracking in RE or reaping of bad genes in GA.

I'm not sure if this fits under Perl Poetry but it's not a meditation and not a call for help (not consciously at least :-)

      while (time < $selling_time) { next; } &sell($product);
      Gosh, they're at it, do they never sleep?

      (update: Anything from this guy seems to be hilarious, like this or this. Not perl-related though.)
