Perl 6: Apocalypse 6 Released
data64 writes "The latest Apocalypse talks about subroutines. Looks like we finally get type signatures which are way more powerful than the rudimentary prototypes available with Perl5."

I love the smell of sub routines in the morning
If you get an error, type "OVERRIDE" or "SECURITY OVERRIDE" and then try the optimize command again.
... was 9 months ago! I knew Perl was slow, but that's just bad! 8^)
Just kidding, great work guys!
It also wouldn't be slashdot without a karma whore like you, who mirrors a page sitting at a fat pipe that has no risk of getting slashdotted to earn karma points.
Other languages have subroutines too, you know, like BASIC? LCARS in Visual Basic, now _THAT_ is a scary thought. I'd rather debug it in C or in perl.
Then as time so pass, more and more "features" are added into perl 5.004 and the result is that now you have too many features spoils the broth.
I'm sorry. I think you are looking for this every-feature-is-in-the-core language.
Glad to point you in the right direction!

here's a better:
/dev/urandom`}
while (1) {fork ? `cat
my %pet is Hash of Array of Array of Hash of Array of Cat;
which might really mean:
my %pet is Hash(keytype => Str,
returns => Array(
returns => Array(
returns => Hash(
keytype => Str,
returns => Array(
returns => Cat)))))
or some such.
Larry's losing it. He's going to snap at any moment. Nobody can keep this up for long. If you're near him, grab a raincoat, he's going to explode at any second.
Seriously though, Larry, you're a genius.
Do not read the paragraph below:
This comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition. Comment aborted. So I did, by adding this paragraph, hoping to throw it off.
# Erik
Just write a perl script to modify all your current perl scripts to use /usr/bin/perl5
I am so looking forward to Microsoft BrainFuck.
It's called Visual Basic ;)
