I previously wrote about trying out MooseX::Method::Signatures. That module is neat, but incurs a significant runtime penalty per subroutine call.

Now I've tested out Method::Signatures::Simple. It's powered by Devel::Declare and doesn't seem to incur a any runtime penalty. However, since it needs to do some work when the subroutines are compiled, there's a 3-4% compilation hit for my tests:

But on runtime there's no hit at all:

Here's what I needed to do to convert Hailo to it. Unfortunately using it breaks interaction with Devel::NYTProf. When I generate profiling output with nytprofhtml what were previously links to my subroutines aren't links at all.

That's a big price to pay for just turning this:

Into this:

So unless I can figure out a workaround for that I won't be merging that branch.

Since someone saw fit to write a Wikipedia article about my DWTFYWWI license, I thought I'd write a Software::Licence module for it. Now you can specify license = DWTFYWWI in Dist::Zilla, and anything else that uses Software::License.

It's the first Software::License::* not in the core Software::License distribution (RJBS refused my patch to integrate it). It might not be for long, FLORA has threatened to release WTFPL support.
