goto considered useful

Herbert Breunung — 45 minutes 🦋

While coding my first, small real life project in Perl 6, a handy command line tool named goto, I discovered some pros and con's I want to share here. It's mostly about the traps I ran into most often and some general (software engineering type) thoughts you should consider before even starting your Perl 6 adventure.

This is in essence the continuation of my last years TPC talk, where I spoke about how to write your Perl 6 module and how to package it. This time I shift my focus to writing an application. For instance one topic will be how Perl 6 API will be different due named parameters, boolean parameters and MMD and how to get the most advantage of those features.
