With regard to my bloat argument, you have purposefully exaggerated your defense by mentioning operators that provide unique benefits that are impractical to not use. += is impractical to not use. Statement modifiers are impractical to not use. Map in void context is not nearly as necessary of a construct.

With regard to the tr/a/a/ that I mentioned, it isn't funny that I brought this up, nor is it a coincidence. I am admitting that the language has a precident for providing behaviour in un-obvious or circular implementation, that is at some point optimized for general use. Do I consider it bloat? I sure do. I brought it up, after all.

As for your last attempt to insult me, I suggest you re-think your motivations. I rarely ever use Java. My day-to-day programming at work is almost 100% Perl, and has been for several years.

You may think Perl is perfect. I don't. I am forced to admit that Perl is practical, and so I use it. Note the difference. Not all the world is Abigail, or Perl. Didn't you just say, in this very thread, "Think for yourself"? I am thinking for myself, and you are criticizing me for it. I suppose "there is more than one way to do it" really means "there is Abigail's range of doing it" and anybody who uses less as a means of improving the quality of the code, is guilty of limited thought. Sheesh.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
