I love perl. At the end of the day it just has so much utility and there are just so many cases where the correct solution is a perl solution. I also think it can be written in a very clear and beautiful way, but people only see the ugliness

In my new Perl AI open-source free artificial intelligence at

http://ai.neocities.org/perlmind.txt

I have finally gotten the AI Perlmind to take in keyboard characters through the AudInput mind-module and store (some of) them by means of the AudMem mind-module, but the free open-source Perl AI code is terribly unwieldy and difficult to bring to perfection. Meanwhile on Usenet in comp.lang.perl.misc people are both helping and attacking Mentifex. Oh well, progress slowly emerges.

I love x86. At the end of the day it just has so much utility and there are just so many cases where the correct solution is a x86 solution. I also think it can be written in a very clear and beautiful way, but people only see the ugliness

I don't even know why they bother creating a new language if they aren't going to give it a real type system. I mean, unityped is okay for some undergrad project or for some script-kiddie shit-language, but not for a serious effort from people who think themselves professionals.

#!/usr/bin/perl

When did you become so goddamn cute?

# PERL by Example (2015)

Mentishit is so retarded he's cute.

$IQ = <STDIN>; # PERL by Example (2015), p. 50

Why aren't you using taint checking? Does PERL by Example not cover this, or have you not just not read that far yet?

if dubs, then ruby > perl

Does Ruby not do this right? If not.. it's in the same class as JavaScript.

Sleepsort in perl6

Does this compile?

Perl 6 is fucking amazing:
http://doc.perl6.org/language/grammars#Creating_Grammars

100% homoerotic

>>15
Holy fuck this is superfluous and non-orthogonal. A whole language feature that is just one particular base class? Hell, this faggot could make 10 more classes and have 10 more "amazing" language features so stupid fanboys in this thread could drool their eyes out.

>>16
The base class provides grammars, yes. What exactly is your objection?

Before you dig a hole for yourself, you should know it has to be this way: that feature is used to parse all Perl 6 code and it was used to bootstrap the compiler. During bootstrap it is even used to parse the most of the grammar rules that make up Perl 6 grammars.

Love how Mentifex always uses some obscure dead language, like forth or perl.

>>19
It's a nice charm.

>>17
What feature exactly? Inheritance? Classes? Because "grammars" are not a feature, it's just a name for subclasses of one class.

>>21
I don't think you know what features are, or grammars for that matter.

>>22
Shitty dubs.

Grammar is the superclass that classes automatically get when they are declared with the grammar keyword instead of class.

So a grammar is just a regular class except it has the "Grammar" class as a supertype. So a grammar is equivalent to a regular class subclassed from Grammar. Thus, it is not a separate language feature, but a name for a subclass of an existing language feature.

Is yoar brainpower sufficient to comprehend these simple facts, nig-nog?

who are you quoting?
