As the "Geek Cruiser Emeritus", having been on all three cruises (and soon
to be a fourth two weeks from now), I can support that.
<p>
The Perl crowd was very fun, connected, and yet diverse.
<p>
The Java crowd was very sedate, disconnected, and yet amazingly "all out of one mold".
<p>
The XML crowd was also sedate, almost polarized (dataheads, webheads, docheads),
and yet young-ish since the field is new.
<p>
I'd definitely go on another Perl cruise. The other ones I'm starting to think will simply be a great place for me to get away from The Monestary for a week. {grin}
