Fortunately the Perl community have no trouble laughing at itself either! So here's a port to Perl :) https://gist.github.com/1204277 Moose's MOP makes this "port" quite easy (as does Perl having multiple inheritance!). Does mean it on

It does. However warnings+strict are lexical so it will only apply to the module or scope where use Moose is put.

Ruby & Javascript have syntax defined in their parsers for control structures. for eg: # Ruby if someThing() doThis() else doThisInstead() end # Javascript/Perl/etc if (someThing()) { doThis() } else { doThisI

Also it's hard to write good documentation and lots of hackers probably won't have the necessary skill set. However documentation is important and the more you work at it the better and easier it gets.

As a counter example, Perl is well-known for having a huge base of libraries via CPAN, but the signal to noise ratio is very low. Sturgeon's Law applies so its no good picking on just Perl libraries here! There are few libraries that hav

Your very welcome. Like Smalltalk, its a beautifully designed language. Some quick examples: 10 repeat("Hello world" println) (y < 10) ifTrue(x := y) ifFalse(x := 2) if (y < 10, x := y, x := 2) More example Io code can

Yes, unless I've totally misunderstood that Self/Smalltalk code! Also instead of between method with two args you could also create an and message/method: valid := base bottom between(ligature bottom + height) and(base top / scale f
