A japh of Perl programmers. :P Some animals have more than one collective noun, describing their activity or position. Like a raft, brace, or flock of ducks for floating, standing, and flying. Maybe Perl programmers need multiple nouns.	[reply]

I thought a group of Java programmers should be called a "wank", a group of C programmers a "claustrophobe", a collection of COBOL programmers an "anachronism", a collection of C++ programmers an "aloof", and a collection of perl programmers a "cemetery". Java: a verbocity. Javascript: an anarchy. COBOL: a shrinery. Fortran: a numeracy. Lisp: a reDEFinery. C++: a commitee. C: a memory. PHP: a nursery. Haskell: an academy. Ruby: a rolling-stock. Perl: a memory. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity. In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

:P Thanks! I was doing one of the virtues, Hubris, while riffing on Ali. I wanted to do Lazy, just answering, "Because." But I'm too vain to take the downvotes for the joke.	[reply]
