kurila 1.16 released


Highlights:

+ Structured assignments
  Extract values from complex structures using assignments.
  For example:
  my %( aap => $aap, ?noot => $noot ) = $h;
  Assigns $h{aap} to $aap and $h{noot} (if it exists) to $noot.
  Rationale: Powerfull new assignments.

+ Controlled hash and array element access and creation
  By default access an element that does not exists will
  produce an error. To add an element add a "+" to accessor,
  to ignore non-existing elements add a "?" to the accessor.
  Rationale: Direct control over the creation and access
    of array and hash elements.

Known bugs:

Perl Kurila is a dialect of Perl. With Perl 5 as ancestor it has a
solid base, but without the backwards compatibility
requirement of Perl 5, it is free to evolve into new directions.

Standing on the shoulders of a red giant to face the future.
