QX deprecated, runout and shellout #554
Conversation
There are many reasons for :x adverb to go, most of them are explained in the pull request. In short: out of other alternatives (namely "run") qqx// and friends seem to be the worst ones (due to potential misuse and associated security problems). In such situation it is appropriate to get Huffman coding right, this commit does it.

FWIW, this looks to me like a request to change the language (Perl 6) with an attached pull request to modify the compiler (Rakudo). I think the discussion of the language issues properly belong somewhere else, such as perl6-language or as a language issue ticket (https://github.com/perl6/specs). Then, once there's agreement on the language change to be made, it makes sense to look at this pull request. In short, we've gone to a lot of trouble to keep the compiler (Rakudo) design and tickets separate from the language (Perl 6) design and tickets, and we should aim to keep it that way. Pm |

@pmichaud I agree! I've submitted a pull request there. However, I expected to see a comment about the proposed change… |
