  How many useful development tools are we willing to sacrifice (making development harder) in order to make development "easier".

  I'd have some sympathy if there were any chance of getting (for example) function signatures, the method keyword, or the class keyword into Perl 5 this side of the heat death of the universe, but that's not going to happen because "that would make maintaining existing code harder".

    You know, that's funny, because working method signatures in Perl 5 are one of my new favourite things.

    use MooseX::Method::Signatures;
    method morning (Str $name) {
        $self->say("Good morning ${name}!");
    }

      I meant in the Perl 5 core.
