Perl 6 Summary for 2004-12-20 through 2005-01-03
All~
Welcome to a New Year of Perl 6 Summaries. I have been doing bi-weekly
summaries over the holiday season, but I plan on returning to weekly
ones now. Hopefully "World of Warcraft" won't prevent me, we shall see,
but if anyone starts a perl guild drop me a line ;-)
  Perl 6 Language
   Perl IDE
matisse wondered if an IDE for Perl would be possible given its dynamic
nature. The conses arrived at last time was that an IDE that worked for
"nice" code would be possible, but a fully general one would be
extremely difficult and quite possibly impossible.

Strange, I can't see this message at all using nntp.perl.org... or any 
replies to it at the google groups address that tinyurl points to.

I thought I'de throw in that the very very distant "sparkle in my eye" 
for PPI is to build something for perl similar to IntelliJ IDEA.

If the PPI-like mode of the perl 6 parser happens (don't touch anything 
outside the file) then I don't see why it can't be done, at lease in 
some form.

Out of curiosity, why are we all spelling 'subject' without a 'c'?
Or is 'subjet' a word I'm not familiar with? (Honest question.)

As to the meat of the proposal...I would rather that the aliasing was
done as part of the signature, not afterwards.  Keep all the
information that pertains to this parameter in one location.

I assume it's a spelling error on the part of the original poster. 
French for "subject" is "sujet" (IIRC), and "subjet" looks like a cross 
between the two.
