Yes, a slang could solve that, but not Slang::Tuxic, which is about whitespace for functions and methods.

You however show that perl6 takes away a lot of artistic freedom. I completely disagree with smls that the programmer will be happy with the decisions taken. The compiler will be happy, but us poor programmers that deviate slightly from that paved road will not be. All those small annoyances will have to be weighed against the goods that perl6 brings in order too keep the programmers using perl6.

Do NOT underestimate the FUN factor. I have said that a few times before, but FUN! is way more important than functionality.

I know both smls and BrowserUK will disapprove with using whatever slang, but without slang, there will be some amongst us that would never use the language because of the missing freedom.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
