I'm afraid a bit of Perl 6 changes, but i cant stop perls' evolution and i really don't want it to stop, but i'm afraid of it ;-)
Afraid of what you ask? Changes, relearning of my favourite language, shortage of time... If i think of all the scripts i'll have to change manually or even convert them to P6 notation i feel sick ;-)
But there are also some
advantages of that situation:
- a bit of adrenaline is a good thing ;-) (try jumping out of a plane ;-P)
- i'll improve my programming skills
- it's a great opportunity to learn something new
- changes are the best things in the world
Why? One of my friends told me one day that all the changes are good things - even if they *hurt* at the moment. Maybe sad, but i believe that's true!
If Larry says that it would be better, i believe him. If something has changed, it means that the change was needed - that's all.
So i'm not afraid of changes... I'm afraid of myself - if i could get used to those new features, notations, etc. ;-)
BIG smile!
Greetz, Tom.
