We live in very different worlds then. I am a vessel of truth here and this is experience online and coming out of Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond which happen to be somewhat important to the direction of language usage. You weren’t here for this thread, for example: Re: I want you to convince me to learn Perl.

The situation in Perl’s increasing marginalization has little to nothing to do with the hatred—I never, ever said it did—and everything to do with deployment issues, apps, binding to modern libs, Perl Ludditism, and general infighting. If you are suggesting, implicitly, against my point that Java is a natural, self-organized, pleasant language that won the market through its sheer delight… I wouldn’t know how to respond.
