Re^2: Should I stay with this company or leave?

It's true that it is not a bad idea to learn Java, and I believe that I can learn a lot in that team. Everybody in the company knows that the Java team leader is a smart chip. He personally can code in several languages, and came from one of the top universities.

In one of the lunch conversation we had a while back, the guy said that, he found Perl is easy to learn and useful, but it is simply not a language for the troop, but only a language for individuals. He said that Perl's way of OO clearly against Perl's simplicity, and only idiot will enjoy it.

Now he knows everyone just would ignore him, so he starts mildly and then puts his trolls in other people's mouths?	[reply]

I was wondering the exact same thing. The OP itself seemed genuine (if odd) enough, but some of the comments since then do sound a bit too trollish. Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W.
