Re^4: Another prediction of Perl's demise

And is it ASP or VBScript you dislike ;-} Don't confuse the two, that'd be just like thinking CGI=Perl=CGI.

BTW, we do use ASP, we even use VBScript, mostly for historical reasons. But recently we went crazy and since the ASPs go through a "translator" program anyway we started mangling the language. So we can now use heredocs and q{} and qq{} quoted strings in both VBScript and JavaScript, we can interpolate variables and even expressions in the heredocs, qq{}s and outside scripts with $[ expression ], we can write >>> instead of Response.Write, db->StoredProcedure(... instead of OnErrorRedirect db.StoredProcedure(..., etc. etc. etc. The next candidates for "extensions" are +=, &=, -=, *=, /=, ++ and --. I said, we went crazy ;-)

It's not fair for me to say I don't like ASP, because I have never used it. I tend to favour open source technologies more, like Perl, PHP and MySQL, that may be more accurate.	[reply]
