reminds me of the first time i encountered a VHLL (very high
level language) it was my first or second year of CS at
school, and we had to program a version of the sieve of
erosthenes (sp?) in C and in ASM so we could see the speed
difference. my professor, a big fan of VHLL's said: "that's
a waste of programmer time!" and in 1 line of a language
called ISET-L wrote a sieve of erosthenes program. 20 seconds.
that's when i began to learn what a good programming language
can do for you... and now, i love perl... the swiss army
chainsaw of VHLL's :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
