Mostly I was just saying that `say` isn't the interesting bit of the examples given. But, sure, Perl is nice in how flexible/expressive it is (and Perl 6 takes that even further). I think maybe that's even the most interesting thing about the article. I mean, the date math is super cool and impressive and elegant, but the various paradigm examples is maybe more fun for me, since munging dates is rarely a thing I do.
TIMTOWTDI can get out of hand, at times, but it's really nice to have such beautiful concise ways to solve a problem in OO, functional, parallel, etc. styles all of which are very readable and quite concise.
