perl6-vs-ruby-iteration.rb
perl6:
my $sentence = "an acorn fell here."
#=> an acorn fell here.
my @words = $sentence.split(" ")
#=> an acorn fell here.
say @words.capitalize
An Acorn Fell Here.
ruby:
sentence = "acorns do not exist."
#=> "acorns do not exist."
words = sentence.split
#=> ["acorns", "do", "not", "exist."]
words.each { |word| print word.capitalize }
Acorns Do Not Exist.
