It is like cybernetician Heinz von Försters "Imperative":
"Always act in such a manner as to maximise your future possibilities."

But note that we are talking abount /semantic/ choices, not /syntactic/!

Perl is such a fupped language, because it's cluttered with syntactic
choices that do not only /fail to enrich/ its semantics, but do even
/obstruct/ elegant and meaningful additions to it.
