You'll get an answer, as this is a (very) good question to consider.

It there would not have been this slang (for me), this module - as it currently is - would not have happened at all. So what is better/worse?

My annoyance of having to write - what I consider - ugly code is so that I refuse to do so. Having this slang causes me to produce perl6 code - be it in a deviating style - with fun.

Conversation with many of the perl6 dev people have already proven this to be useful. I found several bugs in the core and have - together with perl6 people - also made some amendments.

The person(s) I am working with already concurred to use my style/slang. At least it is (very) consistent. The only thing I have to think about to make them happy is to not use tabs as leading whitespace (which already caused my Makefile to break a couple of times).

Warning: the vortex that'll draw you into perl6 development is strong. If you cannot handle the force, do not get near :)


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
