I too like sigils for two reasons: 1) Makes str interpolation (as you mentioned) easier on the eyes. 2) I like to see, at a glance, what a variable "is doing".

I too like sigils for two reasons: 1) Makes str interpolation (as you mentioned) easier on the eyes. 2) I like to see, at a glance, what a variable "is doing". In Broccoli, there are only two "doings" hold values, or holding a collection of values. 3) I know I said 2, but the real reason.... it is easier to parse. ;) -m
