Subject: if not C<,> then what?
if we really about to lose C-style comma, would we have something new
instead? new C<,>,( as I've been told here by wise ones), doesn't guarantee order so it will be erroneous to write: pray_to $_, sacrifice <$virgin> for @evil_gods because it could be executed as: sacrifice <$virgin>, pray_to $_ for @evil_gods that is against rites; sacrifice <$virgin> for @evil_gods which is a senseless loss of costly and rare resources. pray_to $_ and sacrifice <$virgin> for @evil_gods because prayer result is almost always undefined, ..but who knows? I'm thinking about C<then>, analogious to old C<,> (maybe with lower pray_to $_ then sacrifice <$virgin> for @evil_gods hm.. maybe C<then> should make first action in void context (I hate noise P.S. of course, I can just use P.P.S. do we have a way to imply void context on function inside -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
