Every time i read one of these pointless rants, i read the same arguments. Perl is confusing. Perl is awkward. Perl is too hard to maintain. I never read about these people getting over that and learning how to use the CPAN. I never see those people here at the Monastery. Perl is dead. Long live Perl. ;)

Funny thing is (referring to the last paragraphs of his rant), i wrote my compiler before i learned and starting using Perl.
