in reply to Perl Advocacy: Sometimes java is bitter...
While I must say that I am very fond of both languages, every now and then when working with Java I am reminded of a sound from my past:
I was working at a startup in the bay area doing enterprise java stuff. I sat next to the lead developer in this tiny downtown SF death trap crammed full of programmers and sales reps from around the world. About once a day he would just collapse in front of his keyboard cradling his head in his hands muttering "god damn it... this f$#&!ing s$#7 would f#$@ing take one f$#%@ing line of code in Perl, f#$@ing piece of s$#!!!" |

I agree with the sentiment far too often. One of the great things about Perl is that you can use functional, procedural and object-oriented techniques at once. (tilly has a slew of thoughtful nodes about this.) I can't count the times where I wanted to use a map, heredocs or a number of other constructs in Java.
