Re^2: Are Perl programmers just easier to deal with?

Hardly. Perl runs on MS servers. You can even hear some praise for Perl coming from some sections of Microsoft (much of the .NET CLR was tested using a Perl framework, IIRC). As for bookmarking, much of this is internal URLs that change whenever Hotmail bleeding well feel like it.

But I still doubt it's written in Perl.

I know Perl runs on Windows, and have even used it there some, but you don't seriously think that a MS development team would choose to use Perl instead of their in-house tools for a public service like Hotmail, do you? They certainly wouldn't run CGI for a site with that much traffic, which was the thing in the URLs that made the OP think it was perl.	[reply]
