Here's the meditative point: These postings and others like them seem to say something about us and this community. I'm not sure what, but I thought I'd call upon the meditators among us for their thoughts.

I'm not sure what (if anything) those postings say about us and this community, but if I were to offer something meditative about this site and this community it might simply be *fun* ... and to expand on that a little:

The great thing about Perl is that it is *fun*. The great thing about learning is that it too is *fun*. Occassionally people forget this. Fortunately, for the most part, this place succeeds at being both a place of fun and of learning, and that success is probably the biggest reason behind the continued success of this site.

And so, in that spirit: 

    (${{map { $_ => sub { print "@_!\n" }} 1..3 }}  {@$_}
      ||sub { print "Are we having fun yet?\n"  })->(@$_) 
        for ( map { [ ('yup') x $_ ] } 0..3 );

One that Deparse uglifies rather than simplifies :-)
