There are some amazing similarities between the two things I do most of in my life.
- Perl
- Jeep
If you have ever owned a Jeep Wrangler you know what I'm talking about. Some similarities include:
- Customization
- Super cool after market stuff to add on
- Already comes with a powerfull engine
- Can take a major beating and come out fine
- You can go where most can't
The list could go on...
In short, I have two great utilities in my life: my Jeep Wranger and Perl.
Both let you customize them when you first get them.
Both let you add as much cool stuff to them as you like.
Both let you push the boundaries of their respective niche's.
Both will let you do it the hard way if you like, and take the easy route too.
Both have one of the most powerful engines ( or core :) around.
Both have their small limitations: you aren't going to race your Jeep just like you aren't going to write hardware drivers in Perl.
Final note: Go get yourself a Jeep, you'll feel like you're driving Perl!
Good day.
