in thread Microsoft's .NET ate a piece of Perl 5?

Remember those little "career tests" we took back in school? The ones that had a bunch of questions that were supposed to match us up with a certain career? Like this one:

Do you enjoy writing three lines of declaring classes, five more for adding attribute data, and four lines of other supporting code, all of which could have been implemented in a one-line function call?

The people who checked "yes" to that became Java programers.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

    Do you want to still have a high-paying tech job in 2003?

    The people who checked "yes" to that became Java programers.

    Do you enjoy watching daytime television and eating 4L buckets of ice cream?

    The people who checked "yes" to that became Perl programmers.

    Just a joke :)
