That's not quite a fair assessment.
I don't like calculus, but I do like Perl.
Of course, Perl itself is almost entirely unlike calculus. Whereas Perl is heavy on the algebraic logic (which is to say: it's very similar to the discipline of formal symbolic logic), calculus approaches statistics in its philosophy of application. Actually, to be more accurate and precise, statistics approaches calculus.
I'll stick with Perl, thanks.
