Was Perl destoyed when require was added? Was it destroyed when use and proper module support supplanted the most common uses of require? What about when the /x flag was added for regexes? Did adding say, pragmas, Encode, perlio layers, or tied variables destroy the language?
How exactly does adding syntax that's been under development and testing as a module for years to the core destroy a language? Did Turbo Pascal destroy Pascal? Did the ANSI C changes destroy C? Did the extensions in glibc and in the GNU coreturils package destroy Unix? Did Bash 4 destroy Bash? Did Bash destroy the Bourne shell? Did adding DirectX, WSL, or Windows Defender destroy Windows? Please explain how in your thinking adding features you're not required to use in your own projects destroys a project. Perhaps I'm being dense today, but I don't see it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
