Indeed.
Since you quoted a couple of my RFC's in your REFERENCES section, I feel
obliged to point out that while embedded OO is a nice idea from some
respects, it also sucks *really* bad. I think you misinterpreted what
RFC 159 was all about.
What I'd really like Perl to do is do a better job of supporting fast OO
hooks, not force this:
$x = 5;
$x++;
die unless $x > 6;
To result in 23 object creations and 15 operator overloading calls.
Bleech.
Perl is not C++, ObjC, Java, or C# _on_purpose_. Thank goodness.
