Damn man. Have you ever even used the languages you're trashing?
Yes. Ok, what I did with APL barely counts. And if you read my mails instead of reacting to them you would notice I never trashed anything.
Just because they're not the best languages for writing your little cgi formmail scripts doesn't mean they're bad languages.
Ive never written a formmail in my life. Ive never written a CGI in anger. Presumably you think that doing so is insulting. I suspect that the many many monks that do use Perl in this way are less than impressed. Second as I said earlier, if you read the mails you would see I never said any of these languages are bad.
but it certainly isn't any of the people who designed Java.
Where did I suggest that Java was written by hackers?
adios.
