in reply to Re^10: Syntax checking without BEGIN blocks
in thread Syntax checking without BEGIN blocks
Time to find a language with designers who care about the user's time and productivity, then.
You would have saved a lot of time if you'd started with emotional pseudo-blackmail instead of pretending you want to have a reasonable discussion.
Perl doesn't work the way you think it should. Perl works the way it does for a reason. I used to think you didn't understand the reason, but now I think you don't care if you understand the reason.
Perl's dynamic nature isn't going to change, not in Perl 5 nor in Perl 6 or even in Perl 7, if there is ever such a version. That has implications for the types of programs you can write in Perl, how you write them, and what you can know about them at compile time.
The mechanisms of dynamism may change. The presence of that dynamism will not. Somehow lots of people can do lots of amazing things despite this and somehow other people do even more amazing things because of this.
Cope or don't cope if you want. I don't care. Just don't expect that whining that you're going to find another language that does what you want matters.
It doesn't.
