I know I'm going to regret this, but... ... “what t’hell are ‘prototypes,’ ... we most-certainly can explain it. And so, that is precisely what we should do. “Without further ado.” ... So would it have killed you to have included, amongst all that verbiage, a couple of links to readily available explanations, e.g., Prototypes and the Christiansen article?

what t'hell are 'prototypes,' anyway?! Prototypes Java, Ruby, even PHP ... Yes, those languages are different from Perl. Excellent point. Yes, it is true that "we cannot (now) change Perl-5." No, it's not. Perl v5.20 introduced Signatures, which will hopefully be made non-experimental in a coming version. But we most-certainly can explain it. And so, that is precisely what we should do. "Without further ado." We should illustrate the impedance-mismatch without apology Oh, the irony.	[reply]

Right after being severely criticized and downvoted for posting thirteen pairs of unnecessary quotes in five paragraphs without actually saying anything, you repeat the same annoyance on the same topic -- this time with sixteen pairs of unnecessary quotes in six paragraphs! Re the wisdom of posting these type of unhelpful "opinion" pieces, you seem to have completely ignored my advice and the severe downvotes (which express the opinion of your fellow monks). Yes, we know of your “Rhett Butler”™ attitude to “XP”. Yet what that really means is that you do not respect our opinions nor do you care how much you annoy us.	[reply]

The why's and wherefore's were adequately covered by the responses before mine. My point was the broader one: when it comes down to your perception versus reality, you need to adjust your perception. It's like the periodic posts we get here about "why am I getting this 'Use of uninitialized string...' warning?" Um, that would be because your string is uninitialized. Read and listen to error messages, heed their warnings. Update: I link to the debugger documentation (well, tutorial) very often in my responses. Program not behaving as expected? Want to know what's really going on? We have this marvelous tool that lets us see. Dum Spiro Spero	[reply]
