* Father Chrysostomos via RT <perlbug-followup@perl.org> [2013-06-04 07:40]: > But jaded means ‘bored or lacking enthusiasm, typically after having > had too much of something’,* which is too negative, I think. The way I see the word used it means something like “blasé after too much experience”, someone who remains detached because he’s seen it all and was disillusioned. Implied by that is a sense of significant experience, hence my comment. The man’s or the lady’s disillusionment, obviously, would stem from the language. :-) (And let it be said here: I like the language. I enjoy it in spite of some bizarre design choices in very everyday parts of the language. Maybe it is I who is a jaded then… sometimes, at least.) But yes, too negative for a perldoc.
