I find your comments intriguing. I think you are correct on one level, but i wonder on another. For instance, Perl is now bundled with just about every major *nix OS. MS put a bunch of money into Perl (see perlfork's credits) a lot of major companies donate to YAS so that various people can have their perl development financially supported. So the picture isnt so straightforward. Although I think its hard not to come to the conclusion that YAS doesnt do a very good job of publicizing Perl. Though this could be becuase there are enough hype engines out there and perl just wants to get the job done.
