Re^6: ActiveState PPM, no Tk present

I don't understand why so many Perl programmers are anti-GUI. Why can't Perl be the best at everything, not just at command line scripts?

Its just your imagination :)

Its like saying so many knife users are anti-Shaving ... shaving requires high sharpness and high polish ... most of the time you're not shaving ;)

I've definitely witnessed a tendency (online and IRL) to say "Perl isn't a GUI language - why write a GUI in Perl?". I think it's ridiculous. What languages do people think the hundreds of thousands of GUI apps are written in? Languages largely inferior to Perl, that's what.	[reply]

I haven't witnessed that kind of childish ignorance often, but I'm sheltered I guess , I don't frequent many programming websites beside stackoverflow	[reply]
