"Please, please!  This is supposed to be a happy occasion!
      Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who."

I agree in part that this is Perlmonks so why are we discussing "Not Perl", I don't know what the approach should be, except it should be uniform.

Perl has a singular community spirit; Perl Monks is an aspect of that, and it rocks. If other languages lack this; look to Perl, learn, and go build yer own site.

Were Monks to use another languages, and be swayed, what then? Should we let them evangelize? Is it heresy? No! There was mention of an Off-topic node, PHP would fit in there. As would java, Python, C, Bash, etc.

In all other manners I agree with Ovid's post and anything else would be corroboration at best and redundant at worst.
