Cor - A proposal for core Perl OO

I've been working with Sawyer X and Stevan Little to try to bring OO into the Perl core. Most of this work is based on Stevan's work, with me trying to add a final "polish" layer to make it clean and still feel like Perl.

It's being called "Cor" to distinguish it from current OO systems.

This is an example:

You can read the full description of Cor here.

Feel free to comment on the proposal here or on the gist.

Who will have lazy attributes built into the core first? Raku or Perl? The race is on!

As for the syntax - please, please drop this Moose-ish fat arrow abuse. It does not construct proper Pair object like in Raku so essentially

has max_size => ( default => method { 20 } )

is pretty much the same as

has ( max_size => default ), method { 20 }

So I think that

has max_size => { default => method { 20 }, ... }

is more natural.
