in thread What are the drawbacks of autobox?

Well I brought a list of arguments and you answer with your personal "findings"?

Wasn't "make frequent things easy to code" a Perl mantra?

Silly me, and I thought TIMTOWTDI is Perl's style to code... ;-)

I'm curious what would your answer become if I edit my posts to s/Ruby/Perl6/g ?

Cheers Rolf

BTW your not answering the OP about autobox and I never propagated that others should code this way!

    One thing that most people forget is that TIMTOWTDI doesn't mean "There Is More Than One Way To Do It". It means "There Is More Than One Way To Do It (but most of them are wrong)".

      You believe in absolute truth ?

      Rather conservative, isn't it? ;-)
