Tux++ and does anyone ever mention the likely damage caused by JavaFan's ahem, "witty and sarcastic" comments? Remember most if not all of PerlMonks is indexed by search engines and JavaFan's utterly stupid comments come when you do searches with such keywords!

For example his comments come up first when using such keywords in search engine see here: good programmers Python evil Perl and most people searching Google et al for information on programming languages will see stuff like this and they won't know he is being sarcastic.

Doesn't take a brainiac to figure this out, JavaFan is it worth it? For me, an avid supporter of Perl for such a long time I vote NO. Most of us actually have meaningful posts when comparing particulars between languages or things other languages are doing, it's just smart to always look around you and discuss it within our community.

In reply to Re^4: Why are other popular languages very different from Perl when installing libraries, e.g. no testing needed and no compilation of C/C++ code done by hermida
