Entry 1758

Exegesis 4

Drool... via Slashdot, Damian Conway's Exegesis 4 is out on Perl.com: "In Apocalypse 4, Larry explains the fundamental changes to flow and block control in Perl 6. The changes bring fully integrated exceptions; a powerful new switch statement; a coherent mechanism for polymorphic matching; a greatly enhanced for loop; and unification of blocks, subroutines and closures. Let's dive right in."

Haha, I figured this would show up on LtU. Hi Ehud!.

As I'm reading the Exegesis, one of the most interesting things to me is that every single block is a closure. The body of every loop, everything.
