I'm trying to read through the 6th Apoc and Exe right now, concurrently. Immediate reaction notes on the matter:
- The distinction about the &, where sub calls cannot have them and refs always do, is Probably A Good Thing, but feels restrictive. Ah well.
- Hey, waaaaiiit a second...are named parameters required?! That's icky if it's so...
- Ooh, you can switch if incoming params are copies or aliases or read-onlys...that's nifty.
- (A Beavis And Butt-Head moment) Huh-huh. "Slurpy" arguments. Huh-huh.
- Oooh, wow, the := binding operator! Spiffykeen! I need to read the exegeses I missed...)
For personal reference, my next page is
this one.

Nope, named parameters are
not required. I can guarantee you that...

It didn't seem Perlish, but...well, plenty of Perl 6 doesn't quite seem to fit the paradigm until (Larry|Damian) explain why it fits. Thank you for the confirmation. :)
