Perl is only good at attracting rookies

Now there's an undereducated statement.

Perl community seems to be a swamp of undereducated people

And again. Sure, there are lots of those, but it takes all sorts to make a community.

Even that trend is broken since Ruby is getting more and more attention.

So, if all these undereducated rookies start switching to Ruby, then the point is...that Ruby is only good at attracting undereducated rookies? (Must remember not to feed the trolls...shame on me)
