Why blame the language. Why not simply blame the coder. After enforcing use strict; we'll need to use explicit casts for scalar and list contexts. Next we'll be killing all of those handy little variables that are everywhere. Finally, Perl will be made strongly typed. Its a funny thing, of all the languages I use (C,C++,Java,C#,VB), Perl is the only one that I experience as different. Thats why I use Perl whenever I can. Its like the only fun programming language that I can find an excuse to use.

Am I the only one whose is tired of hearing "good programming practice." Go read up on the Sun Java and MS .net crap for a few days -- "we are going to make your coding robots more productive by building good programming practice principles into the system from the ground up." Yeah, ok. I still think that if C had a native string type, or a reasonable string library, we could all have been spared all the pain of C++ and Java.

So, dont want to "use strict;" explicitly

use the C/C++/Java/C# programming language
