If all you have is a hack, then definitely your decision process is simplified. No matter whether you want to hammer down a nail or screw a wood screw ... all you have is that hack. So you can't make a wrong decision.

The decision did not affect just the sigil, it affected the layout of the code! Stuff you would write as a method if you chose to use an object got implemented as a top level function or an unnamed block, ... It's not just what sigil you use for the thing, it's how you treat it.

Enoch was right!
Enjoy the last years of Rome.
