That's an interesting point.
I know several monks, who would like to find other community like that (Javamonks,prologmonks???)
beccause thay just like other languages too or beccause they HAVE to code in other language at the office.
I see several arguments, against this idea :
- Part of the spirit of the monastery is bind to the nature of Perl.
<Flame bait> You just can't make obfuscation or poetry in Java </Flame bait>
- Some monks will probably don't like the monastery change to become Just another programming site
(and until you convince me I'll be in this camp)
- It may make the monastery like slashdot : a lot of people but a lower info/noise ratio.
- Vroom has zillions of more important (IMHO) things to do for the monastery
(setting up a Paypal account for example ;-)
If I have some questions non related to perl I sometimes ask in the CB (and often get an answer...)
I'm not against this kind of site, I am just against anything that could harm the monastery.
And I don't see why it should be done here (instead of making another site)
Please believe me when I say I'm not opposed to the changes, I just take care to not alter something that works well.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
