in thread the sad reality of perl

Haha, battle of the snake-oil salesmen! Your pythonista trolling a "Perl6ista" selling the fact that you can write 223 in the source code in his language. Because that's *so* much easier than writing 2**23 ...

(In fact, the closest I can get in vim 8 is 22 3, with: "2 Ctl-K 2 S Ctl-K 3 S" because "Ctl-K 23" is interpreted as 2/3...)


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Check out OSX (have to enable unicode source first):

    2ēģ = control + space, 2, option + 0 + 0 + b + 2, option + 0 + 0 + b + 3.
