in thread Ovid's take on the renaming of "Perl6"

If you add too much sugar, you end up with diabetes.

The resulting syntax would be too confusing. "Is that thing a block or a hash?"

I was reacting to your "better code blocks" and your mention of Ruby. Ruby doesn't have better code blocks. It has a highly confusing, hard to extend, misdesigned, misbehaving nonsense.
