@ar @krutonium @abmurrow @rperezrosario Perl lost function signatures along the way, since they were considered impractical. Perl did gain a "class" keyword, to declare classes for OOP. It didn't use to have that, and supported OOP through an ugly bit of boilerplate code that Perl programmers would have to re-type for every class they wrote. Raku is a sister language to Perl, written by the Perl community, and is a lot more modern, I'm told. I haven't tried Raku yet. https://raku.org/
