in reply to Re^2: Why does it seem as though Perl has the only community of friendly, non patronizing or demeaning, programmers? What is with every one else?
in thread Why does it seem as though Perl has the only community of friendly, non patronizing or demeaning, programmers? What is with every one else?

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".
  1. Java: a verbocity.
  2. Javascript: an anarchy.
  3. COBOL: a shrinery.
  4. Fortran: a numeracy.
  5. Lisp: a reDEFinery.
  6. C++: a commitee.
  7. C: a memory.
  8. PHP: a nursery.
  9. Haskell: an academy.
  10. Ruby: a rolling-stock.
  11. Perl: a memory.

    ...and, as PerlMonks proves, a shared memory... *scnr*

      :) (You may have noticed there are two memories: one bad, one good. I'll let you guess which is which :)
