Well, I would have no problems with a nice lisp variant, either. Given enough supporting libraries. Anyone that ignores warning messages will suffer. :-) Note that Perl 6 is a scripting language which can declare types. The '=='/'eq' thing is common among scripting languages. It is a detail, you find things like this in all complex packages of rules. Most scripting languages will get (some) problems with typing, especially in function parameters for the external APIs in libraries. If you use strict, you get away from some classical problems, e.g. variable name misspellings. With Moose (or other CPAN stuff), you can have powerful typing handling etc. >>It all goes back to the preference in the end ;) Let me note -- that is not where you started a few comments ago. :-)
