Re^2: what would you like to see in perl5.12?by moritz (Cardinal) |

The Perl 6 features I'd like to see most in 5.12 is optional static typing, and real subroutine/method prototypes, a la
sub repeat(Str $string, Int times) That makes code very much self-documentatory, and perhaps the partial statitic typing allows for more optimizations. Mind you, I have now idea if that's implementable with the current compiler/interpreter design - it's just a wish ;-)
