Re: Perl needs Zend

I'm shocked at the number of people who are taking the contents of this post seriously. It took me a paragraph or so, but it's obviously a joke. Read it again. If you don't see the joke by this line:

We probably also need these big corporate guys to run on our core as well, at least Apple; surely the PERL core can handle them.

Then you have no sense of humor. I'm not saying it's divinely inspired hilarity, but it's mildly amusing.

When treading the fine line of parody, one really should make sure their audience realizes such. Using the word PERL should be a give away, but i for one completely thought the author was serious. I don't know Evan very well and as such, i don't know if he is just "taking the piss" or not. This area of "Perl's marketshare" is very volitile and "woe be to he" who tells a joke that no one gets.
