I spend all night hanging out in #linux on my network. This means we have a few programmers hanging around. We have a smalltalk/perl/c guy, a java/perl guy, a c/bash/sed guy, and me, the resident perl zealot. Its a lot of fun to watch all of our individual "coding processes" because its kind of different per person because of what they use. Note, this is not a troll. I'm not bashing anybody's favorite language. I'm just making an observation and relating an experience I thought was fun to watch.

  $i -> chuckle && $i -> code (duration => 'all night long');
}
