Point ! Yes, would count that as a major win also. P6:Rules is a great step beyond P:RD into the space I used to use Prolog for ... which makes me very happy to see that the "cut" syntax (commit to parse here) is no longer "experimental". > Besides the big features, I think little things like the zip operator > make Perl 6 an even better language than Perl 5.

Once I start using them I'll be annoyed at not being allowed to use them in production code ... -- Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
