Aaaarh! Eeeeeewe! Ew-ew, ew-ew, ew! Ew-ew, ew-ew, ew! Oh?
Aaaarh! Eeeeeewe! Ew-ew, ew-ew, ew! Ew-ew, ew-ew, ew! Oh?

It's a bungle, a mighty bungle; a list, in scalar con-text.
Oh it's a bungle, quite-a bungle; a list, in scalar con-text.

DWIM-awry. DWIM-awry. DWIM-awry. DWIM-awry.
DWIM-awry. DWIM-awry. DWIM-awry. DWIM-awry.

In the future, the Perl 6 future; the list will do it right.
Oh, in the future, the quite soon future; the list will do it right.

DWIM-away. DWIM-away. DWIM-away. DWIM-away.
DWIM-away. DWIM-away. DWIM-away. DWIM-away.

So hush my darlings; don't fear my darlings; Perl 6 will do it right.
So hush my darlings; don't fear my darlings; Perl 6 will do it right.

Aaaah. Mmmmmmmm! Mm-mm, mm-mm, mmm. Mm-mm, mm-mm, mmm Aaaaaah.
Aaaah. Mmmmmmmm! Mm-mm, mm-mm, mmm. Mm-mm, mm-mm, mmm Aaaaaah.

    Wonderful, BrowserUk, simply wonderful! Is it perhaps a concidence that yesterday I saw a show by some young girls and boys comprising a series of ballets inspired by several Disney's cartoons, with one using "this" song as a basis? Well, I learnt there for the first time, having never seen the movie itself, that Hakuna Matata means "no worries (here)", and I reasoned that it reminded me, with the obvious differences, of Mushin, the state of "empty mind" in which samurai were said to fight: no worries, no though, no hesitation. A sensation which I've felt -however ridiculous- may it sound, while playing Tetris, at a point in which the game began to be automatic and did I pay no care to the points or anything whatsoever - and I could play like that for long, usually until a thought distracted me. Think of reaching the same state when severe injury or your own life is a possibility! Well, said this the next step is obvious: how good is Perl 6 as a martial art for the 21st century samurai? Will it provide us a Katana, and a Wakizashi too? (I don't know how much $Larry would like these metaphors...)

    I doubt it.
