The double "for" case is handled by "for" and "map". The interesting cases are combinations of "if" and "for" and "while" and "unless". .say if cond($_) for =<>; That one is sort of not necessary now that grep can be lazy. .say for =<> if $read_the_rest; Which can obviously be written in other ways using other constructs, but not without changing how the statement reads or changing what it emphasizes. And as for Perl6 - well yes I'd love to see it get here more quickly also. But I don't think that discussing little nitpicks like this are delaying the release of Perl6. Maybe they are - but I would guess there are more pressing issues that are occupying development time. PaulThread Previous | Thread Next
