I've never understood the frustration over magic variables. It's always sounded similar to the complaints about
vardeclarations when people are used to explicit type declarations. Verbosity like that just reads as attenuating noise to me.I'm sorry, but I don't see the parallel between
myanddo {local (@ARGV, $/) = $file; <>}Even renaming standard keywords, like
nextandlast, addingunless... There was a whole book about best practices, and I wish Perl 6 followed that to the T.My biggest gripe with Perl is the entire dimensions of possibility to hide effects. And Raku seems to have kept a lot of it, and added more stuff on top.
