Are you implying that Perl 6 is the only language in which adding / removing a `!` or a `not` does not alter the behaviour of a program in orthogonal ways???
- dmitriid 7y agoI'm not implying anything. I'm directly referring to points made in the post (emphasis mine): --- start quote --- It is so dense with information that skipping a single symbol might drastically change your interpretation of the entire bit of code. Want to see how dense Perl 6 can be? [[&g]] (1..100)».&f Every single symbol in that line of code carries a significance, and the code would be drastically different should any of the symbols be missing or different. --- end quote --- Couple that with an insane amount of operators and the "there's more than one way to do it" philosophy, and you'll see what I'm against.
- cygx 7y agoYou hear such complaints a lot, but frankly, this has never been an issue for me in practice.
