Re^7: in search of a more elegant if then else

Out of interest, do you have a preference amongst those 4?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I have a vague preference for the last one, but only because it's most like how I'd actually write it: `my @filtered = do for $s.comb -> $a, $b { [ $a, $b ] if $a ne $b; }` [download] or maybe slightly clearer would be: `my @filtered = gather for $s.comb -> $a, $b { take [ $a, $b ] if $a ne $b; }` [download] But mathematicians are likely to prefer the list comprehension syntax, I suspect.
