You make a good point azatoth, but I believe .. as others have already commented on that
that each language has it's uses/pros/cons. At the company where I am now, we primilary use Perl for
parsing(tis excellent) and a bit of database programming. We're just starting to use weblogic
with Java - jsp - for our new web application projects. I like you, just took a Java course -
although this was a bit intense for 5 days (it was a sun certified course - oddly enough not
one student was planning on taking the exam), it went through OOP and many of it's advantages,
as well as Java and it's many uses. I won't discuss it here, it's not really
the place - but I can definately appreciate perl's simpleness and ease of use after taking the course - although
I liked the freedom that a developer is given with Java and it's event handling,
interfaces, inner classes, etc. But, to reiterate - I think Perl is great because one doesn't
have to go through such lengthy syntax to produce the same output as Java.

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).
