Re: "Is it a Perl program or a Perl script?" What would p5p think ? What do you think ? :)

web2.0 hype bulls**t bingo

Web 2.0 / Ajax oddly enough is rehabilitating JavaScript as a serious language. :-) I think the current tide is just the reverse of what you describe; "interpreted" (edit: and "dynamic") languages like javascript, ruby and python are hot, "serious", "compiled" languages like java and C++ are not.

edit2: please note that I am not at all interested in debating the definitions of the "quoted" words

Yup, of course you're right there, but given the context, i meant it as to label the "scripting" vs "dynamic" languages dispute, as in the "web2.0 hot" ones are those labeled "dynamic". :) -- `perl -MLWP::Simple -e'print$_[rand(split(q\|%%\n\|, get(q=http://cpan.org/misc/japh=)))]'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
