Re: Consideration of the Monk Trademark

Thesus,

I indentify with your tag line. Unfortunately I don't see dotnetmonks.com ever happening. The bottom line is that Perl has a more open, inviting and supportive community than any other language can boast. It is a community that does not have to follow in the convoluted steps of a megalithic corporate entity, but instead blazes its own trail, marking the way for those who wish to join in the adventure.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad I get paid to program, even if 95% of the time it's not Perl. But I do miss the Perl community when I'm off doing other things.

Yes, I had given up on the real possibility of dotnetmonks or anything nearly as open and supportive of the Perl community. My dream? Microsoft develops a Windows version of Perl that will come built into their OS, and adds the appropriate levels of support for Perl into IIS, and the .NET infrastructure. It's a dream that I don't ever expect to see come true. My only remaining hope is that the HORRIBLY BROKEN state of Perlscript in ASP.NET at the moment is fixed and more Perl programmers start realizing that the way ASP.NET is set up is a much better framework to design web applications in(If you're working in C#/VB.NET/one of the other REAL supported languages), if you could combine that a more powerful language like Perl, you'd have the best of both worlds. -Theseus Wishing he could Data.Dumper.Dump(string s); as easily as he can Data::Dumper->Dump($s);	[reply]
