Apocalypse 4 is out!!!
"This Apocalypse is all about syntax in the large. The corresponding chapter in the Camel book is entitled "Statements and Declarations", but it could just as easily have been entitled, "All About Blocks". The basic underlying question is "What exactly do those curlies mean?""
"For Perl 5 and earlier, the answer to that question was, "Too many things". Or rather, too many things with inconsistent rules. We'll continue to use curlies for much of what we've used them for up till now, but by making a few critical simplifications, the rules will be much more consistent."
Aaaah, it's like 9 pages long (uh, and 42 pages long according to Internet Explorer's print preview), and I'm in my friend's dorm, and I can't print it out, and even if I could the lights are out because my friend and his roomate are going to sleep, so I couldn't read it anyway. I'll have to print the whole thing out and read it when I get home on Saturday.
