I used to be a strong believer in Visual Basic, back when it was still Visual Basic 4, then it changed into Visual Basic 5 which was indeed even better. Then along came version 6 which didn't suit me anymore and I haven't even looked at Visual Basic.NET (well at least not after I saw its price tag).

Things change and we all change too and what may suit us today may be totally wrong tomorrow.

Perl is not dying, but maybe something Perlish has died in some of us. Is that bad? Certainly not: it just opens up some more space to evolve.
