in reply to Re: Perl6: too bad non-greediness is not made the default
in thread Parsing with Perl 6
I guess TIMTOWTDI. It is a question of emphasis, yours is
on performance, mine
is on readability and incremental building.
If I combine my idea of (ab)?using .* with the concept that one can hack perl6 to make one's own language, I would define a modifier that would turn consecutive non breaking line spaces into an implicit .*? subregex with ? having its traditional meaning of non greediness. I am not sure it would be a so good idea though. Will be a good exercice anyway.
