You’ve made incorrect assumption. You’re seeking for “$a =~ s/^\s+//; $a =~ s/\s+$//;” in CPAN modules and conclude that all this users want trim function. I use such regexps often but I do not want trim to be in global space. IMO introducing some tiny things like ‘say’ or ‘trim’ is not moving forward. Moving forward is introducing Set() object into the core language (like Julia do).

No, it isn’t! I already explained elsewhere in this thread why Yves' concerns do not apply to trim specifically and why the suggestion of redress is problematic as well as what questions are open about it. As such your opinion is noted, but does not add anything new whatsoever. Further, just going "No, it isn’t!" without providing any arguments adds nothing to the conversation either. I provided multi-disciplinary evidence that people desire the functionality in this and other languages to a degree comparable to `say`. If you don't understand it, feel free to ask questions, but invalidating it via "no u"? That ain't it, chief.Thread Previous | Thread Next
