For the record this would work in P6: `my %missing = %book.Set (-) %dict.Set;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, clearly, you can use the built-in set difference operator for that specific operation. My point was only to show an example demonstrating how to create a new operator, in this case between two hashes.	[reply]

Your prejudice is very well-known here. I could argue with you, but I wasted my time too often on that. Not interested.	[reply]

Is he wrong? Sure, he is (in my own perhaps prejudiced view, at least). The possibility to create new operators is a tremendous way to extend the language and to make it able to face the challenges of the years to come that we can't even think about today. And there are many other features to enable you to extend the language. Criticizing this way the details of an example presented for pedagogical purpose is just a lack of intellectual integrity. I'm not going to discuss it further.	[reply]

Passionate debates are OK. But why do you hate this stuff so much? See also σωφροσύνη. ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť `perl -MCrypt::CBC -E 'say Crypt::CBC->new(-key=>'kgb',-cipher=>"Blowfish")->decrypt_hex($ENV{KARL});'`Help	[reply] [d/l]

Not impressed. Confirmation bias.	[reply]
