Re:Perl 5 Is Dying by kragen on Wednesday December 03, 2008 @06:46PM (#385029)
Today I discovered that % 100 = 3; parses in Perl. I wish the space between the % and the 100 had the semantic meaning of telling perl that the % is supposed to be an operator, not a hash sigil. What other languages allow spaces in identifiers? Fortran 77 and Algol 68, I think?
