WASSERCRATS IMPROVED

Welcome to the first and only edition of Wassercrats::Improved. You say we like your ideas and we'd like to see more than one at a time? Well, you're wrong.

You might have guessed that I'm replying once and only once, because I usually don't like wasting my time with trolls. This is sad. My post mocks Wassercrats.

Silly Critique

File tests are modeled after the ones used by most shell programmers, via the test command, otherwise known as [. This is extremely convenient, and make doing common file tests very easy. Perhaps there could be a case made for synonyms that are spelled out, but I wouldn't want to use them.

------------------------------

Ridiculous Critique

Many languages start their indexes at 0. I would venture to say this is the rule, not the exception. I can't say for sure, not having done an exhaustive survey of programming languages, but my gut feel tells me it's correct. Moreover, the 0-based index has been around for so long, changing it at this point would be insane.

Saddening Perlmonks Posts

The fact that you are proud of your amazingly bad post drives the nail in the coffin. At one time, I just thought you were ill-informed and annoyingly naive. Now I know you're simply a troll. I wish you would stop wasting our time, but I know you won't. This makes me extrodinarily sad.
