This is really silly.
We need one of the following:
use NameOfExtensionThatIDonTWantToMakeUpRightNow;
$a ??= $b;
Or,
my $a : string;
$a ||= $b; # Just works "right"
I find the argument over safe signals similarly silly. The fact that people
would choose to have unsafe code for a tad more speed almost makes me sick.
What language were companies banking their money on having their coders
program in again?
