This will not help zigster, but here it goes: I'm a language type of person - language as in linguistics - I like learning languages. And when I first encountered programming it was not a very pleasant experience. Then I found Perl. I started learning it and - be amazed - I found it quite easy to understand. When I got to know that Larry Wall is a linguist it became clear to me: Perl is very close to a natural language*. Just look at the Poetry section or at Obfuscation: such a wide variety of styles and expressiveness! Plus it actually can do a lot of useful things. cooooool neophyte * I'm tempted to say: closer than esperanto is, but that would not be entirely right.Update:I just found this and wanted to add the link.
