any(@value) all(@values) is cool
why? because you dont have to write loops
for doing every different comparision. i bet
there are other benefits to the new syntax also.
but what does this have to do with quantum mechanics???
all of the operator overloading could
just be as easily called "set operators" or something.
then it wouldn't seem so spooky and mysterious,
and would rather seem like some practical
programming.
TeX is better than Office, i think microsoft and every company should be forced to use standardized protocols and file formats so that they cannot continue to waste the time of free & open software writers with the task of figuring out how to port these things.
after all it is not as if the standard itself is the real work. it's just a plan for the details which must be filled in by developers. these details are still protected by copyright.
if microsoft was not a monopoly, micrsoft would see benefit in establshing open standards, since they would want to maximize the # of machines their products can run on. but having a monopoloy, they prefer a lack of competition. since it is clear that only monolopies can befefit from closed software standards and that the consumer does not benefit, this should oppose some monopoly law.
once free software catches up to or goes beyond microsoft in terms of business readiness, there will be no comparison. but a lot of this has to do with file formats and protocols because of an existing system. and it is important to remember that we want the MAN to run linux because he can help us, and that as long as this is so, our desire will remain.

ugh, more syntax.
i have to admit though
