I appreciate your impartial comments, and I'm a little ashamed that our order disaproves.
If I may take a guess at speaking for the rest of the monastery, people don't disaprove of "impartial comments", people disaprove of comments that seem to attack Perl with out providing *any* evidence what so ever. No evidence to exactly what he was doing, or how he was doing it or what actually happened, merely "large datasets seemed to crash".

Just for example, sucking 10gigs of results in to ram would probably crash most computers, regardless of the language. If he had provided clear, specific examples as to what he did, what happened and why he thought it was wrong, people wouldn't downvote him, and it might even get fixed!
