Me coding in 2006…

my $content_type = $request->content_type();
if ($content_type eq 'text/xml') {
    print $request->header(-status => 
        '415 Unsupported Media Type', -type => 'text/xml');
    croak "Invalid content type: $content_type\n";
}

Me coding in 2018…

function MyButton(props) {
    return (
        <Context.Consumer>
            {context => (
                <button {...props}>
                <style jsx>{`
                    button {
                        padding: ${ 'large' in props ? '50' : '20' }px;
                        background: ${props.context.background};
                    }
                `}</style>
                </button>
            )}
        </Context.Consumer>
    );
}

Yes, I’m being a grump. React is great. I just miss Perl some days.
