I learnt of this website from a friend of mine and found it extremely hilarious ;-).

Check it out to see just how much of a trouble it is to code in various languages. Surprisingly, I even found an entry for Perl! Frankly, I didn't expect it since Perl is my #1 favourite! hehe. Here's what the site had to say about Perl:

"You shoot yourself in the foot. You then decide it was so much fun that you invent another six completely different ways to do it."

Seems like a mild 'disadvantage' eh? (yet amusing ;).

For those who might question authenticity of the page, its author claims to have accumulated these quotes from "numerous anonymous contributors", purportedly experienced programmers etc. Well, take a look and judge for yourself...

    A simple search (AOT Super Search) for shoot foot might prove enlightening ;-)
