Whilst Aristotle's Y() combinator is very clever, the requirement to assign the coderef to a local variable complicates the using code.
If something along these lines were to be built-in, I'd like to simplify it so that you could write:
print sub{ ( shift() // return ) + &$^SUB }->( 1 .. 10 );
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
