Hi all,

I don’t know about you, but I don’t follow Perl development super closely.

But something Kyle said on Bugzilla about function decorators got me thinking about Ovid’s work on Corinna, which led me to https://ovid.github.io/blog/politics-in-programming.html and then https://perldoc.perl.org/5.38.0/perldelta.

It looks like 5.38 has an experimental “class” feature for defining Perl classes in a new (more common) way. Obviously we’re not going to use experimental features, but it’s interesting to see the direction Perl is heading.
