by Rolf Langsdorf (LanX) (Darmstadt.pm)
Functions Signaturen Compared - Perl6, Perl5.20 and Sub::Sig aimed at Any and is held in Deutsch. This talk starts on 2017-06-27 at 15:30 for 40 minutes. It takes place at the Hamburg.pm.
Abstract der Einfachheit halber schon auf Englisch.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The missing subroutine signatures in Perl - i.e. the ability to define the sub's arguments directly after the name - are a matter of discussions for many years already
Perl 6 provides a model and Perl 5.20 introduced one experimental feature to do so.
We will give an overview of the features and compare a third approach called called Sub::Sig.
Discussed topics are
- positional parameters
- named parameters
- type constraints
- free constraints
- performance
- backwards compatibility
- life introspection
- Documentation and POD generation
- IDE Support
