Need Help??

in reply to Murder of a Perl coder (announced)

Is it not a great thing to learn more languages, I think yes, at least for myself.

I have used those languages in years, and I never hated one of them, although each has something better than others: (I exclude things like SQL, HTML etc.)

BASIC
FORTRAN
PASCAL
PDP-11 (assembler)
Z-80 (assembler)
C
Ada
COBOL (that was year 2000)
Java
Perl
C# (just started)

Besides, have the opportunity to compare Perl with other languages, might just make you love Perl more!

It's great to learn new languages. Provided they are new. It hurts to go back in time listening to everones' boasting about the progress.
