Re^2: Optional quotes: to use or not to

Then don't use curlies!

$ perl6 -e'my %h = foo => 1; %h.perl.say'
{:foo(1)}<>
$ perl6 -e'my %h; %h<foo> = 1; %h.perl.say'
{:foo(1)}<>

FWIW I do not use quotes whenever possible.

When I use quotes, I use double quotes. always.

I put all keys of a hash inside quotes in an initialization when any of the keys need quotation, for consistency and visual appealing.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

IIRC, curlies are necessary for anonymous hash constructions. Single quotes are quite useful, reducing backwhacks, such as: `print 'The value of $scalar is ', $scalar, ', and this line ends with +\n', "\n";` [download] -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply] [d/l]

I still much prefer: `print "The value of \$scalar is $scalar, and this line ends with \\n\n +"; say "The value of \$scalar is $scalar, and this line ends with \\n";` [download] Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]
