Comments on: Day 10 – Feed operators http://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/day-10-feed-operators/ Something cool about Perl 6 every day Sun, 03 Feb 2013 05:15:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: carl http://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/day-10-feed-operators/#comment-890 Fri, 13 May 2011 14:41:19 +0000 http://perl6advent.wordpress.com/?p=582#comment-890 Oh man, tell me about it.

I do a lot of work in both Perl 5 and Perl 6. Going back and forth, I usually put in too many commas or too few, at least until the first compilation at which point my brain’s internal flags tend to update.

Perl 6 takes the consistent route here. Perl 5 special-cases map/grep/sort syntax a bit to save you a comma. It’s possible to argue successfully for either solution, and I kinda like them both in their own way.

If it’s any consolation, going back and forth between the two languages does help. I still make them mistakes, but less and less.

So it would not be the same in all situations.
