I plan to bring modern OO to the Perl core. Modern enough that it leapfrogs the capabilities of the OO systems of many other dynamic languages. I’ve been stealing ideas from Stevan Little, Damian Conway, and anyone else foolish enough to leave their ideas lying around. I have no pride. Sawyer’s expressed interest and it's likely it will go into the Perl core, though with the upcoming Perl governance changes, the timeline is unclear.

I’m not going to beat around the bush: writing object-oriented code in Perl is a shambolic mess. Some people want to use bless and hand-roll everything, others insist upon using Moo/se, while still others others reach for Class::Std, Spiffy, Class::Tiny, some in-house monstrosity their company uses and so on. You have to relearn it again and again and again. It's time to put this embarrassment aside.
