What role for exceptional types?

I've been reading the Perl6 "type" and method dispatch discussions with some fear and trepidation. Just following the linear flow of control through a program can sometimes be a mind bend. The type inferencing and dispatch system for Perl6 seems very funky. Throw in some autothreading and Junc

If topicalization

I vaguely recall that we went over this already, but I forgot the conclusion if we did. In Damian and Larry's talk here at OSCON, I saw the example: if foo() -> $foo { # use $foo } How can that possibly work? If a bare closure { } is equivalent to -> ?$_ is rw { }, then the norm
