The first law of language design: a colonoscopy

Larry's First Law of Language Design:
"Everyone wants the colon"

This talk will look at various programming
languages through the lens of the First Law.
How have they used the sweetest syntax, ":",
and what does that say about the languages.

The final example will be Perl 6, the only
language designed under the Second Law
