<p><em>(i.e. intimate implementation knowledge of the language) </em></p>
<p>Reading the latest perldelta is hardly "intimate implementation knowledge".</p>
<p><em>They did not *want* Perl to be officially implemented to encourage such a bad style.</em></p>
<p>Perl has never cared about discouraging "bad" style. If you want that, you'd probably enjoy Python or Java. It's a
little late for Perl to start doing the same.</p>
<p><em>After all, Perl is the language that encourages people to use operations like "tr/a/a/" to count the number of a's in a string.</em></p>
<p>Thanks, I didn't know about that one :)</p>
