in reply to Perl vs. Compilable Language

Perl is much easier to write code for. Even when I need high performance from a program, I generally write the first few drafts in Perl first, so I don't spend ages writing and rewriting while I'm still locking down the basic methodology.

    I don't waste any time writing and writing if I haven't locked down the basic methodology yet.

    Design first, write later.
