The State of the Onion 9

Larry Wall's State of the Onion address from OSCON 2005 is now online. I haven't read this one yet but all the previous ones were well worth the read, enjoy!

Update: If you have ever posted use strict; use warnings advice here you might want to skip reading Larry's address :-)

Slashdot 'discussion' is at http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/22/2251257&tid=145&tid=156 and i really think there should be some kind of "perl PR departement", because everytime perl comes up on slashdot, it's just the usual 'perl is dead! use python/ruby/PHP' replies, and even though all of those languages have their merit (well - exept PHP, maybe :-), perl gets way more than its deserved share of of flaming.

i really think there should be some kind of "perl PR departement" I bet TPF could find a place for anyone willing to help with Perl PR. Do you know anyone with the time and the desire?	[reply]

Isn't slashcode being written in perl it's own PR? duff	[reply]

... because everytime perl comes up on slashdot, it's just the usual 'perl is dead! use python/ruby/PHP' replies ... Every time X comes up on Slashdot, it's just the usual "X is dead! use Y/Z/W" replies. No big deal.	[reply]
