Moose is now 14 years old and based on the conversations around Cor there is still not a full consensus about the need for a core object system beyond bless(), and we're just barely (say the last 3-5 years) into a majority consensus that Moose is probably a reasonably good idea as long as you remove about 50% of it, without a real agreement on which 50% should be removed. -ChrisThread Previous | Thread Next
