in reply to Perl is dead

I read the article. What's amusing about it? It reminds me of the Mel Gibson tirade against the Jews. That went over like a lead balloon. The author viciously attacks Larry Wall and the whole open source community...am I supposed to pat him on the back and say "Good boy!"? Rubbish! To quote Larry Wall:

"True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you want...I explicitly give people the freedom not to use Perl, just as God gives people the freedom to go to the devil if they so choose."
