note hardburn <p>Hrm, that's kinda unfortunate. A C-style switch is always a tradeoff, flexibility wise, but the tradeoff can be big if you have a large number of cases. I supose if we're lucky, perl6 will optimize switches that use constant expressions into a jump table, though I suspect such a feature wouldn't be out in the first version of perl6--time enough for optimizations later.</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-195718"> <p>----<br><em>I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.</em> <br> -- [Schemer]</p> <p><code>:(){ :|:&};:</code></p> <p><b>Note</b>: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated</p> </div></div> 301355 301588
