My co-workers refuse to learn or use Perl because ...

• Some people like to type the same sequence of keys until they have Carpal Tunnel.
• That Java code almost writes itself!
• The IDE does all that work anyway.
• No time to pick up a new skill, even if it saves time.
• Can't read regular expressions.
• Don't believe in all that "natural language" stuff.
• On the list of things to do someday.
• Don't write scripts, just create macros.
