in thread If Perl 5 were to become Perl 7, what (backward-compatible) features would you want to see?

I would never do that because it seems malicious and destructive and aggressive [and inconsiderate] like... code rage!

And I would never ascribe hatefulness and intentional acts of sabotage to people smarter, more capable, or more motivated than I am for creating, maintaining, and improving the tools that afforded me the chance to move from starving artist chump with three part-time jobs to highly paid programmer.

    I'm ascribing those qualities to myself, if I were to deprecate, and how it would feel. I don't know why others do it. I just wish they would stop.
