It's not only Anonymous Monk. I've already told you via private message that this website is about the discussion of Perl and solving problems in/with Perl. Your posts so far have come across more like link-spamming, as they did not contribute anything Perl-related. This is not what we want to have here.

This sentiment is a bit unsettling to be honest. We may be Perl monks, but we aren't Perl bigots, or at least I hope we aren't. Invariably most solutions that people post will be in Perl, but I do not mind seeing how a problem can be solved using an alternate technology - I may even learn something from it.

My guess would be that he posted the link because that particular language is so obscure.

I think my post as more harsh than I intended. I like contrasting solutions that display how a certain problem would be solved easier or even different in another language. But that requires that the poster highlights and explains the differences and how the differences are crucial, instead of posting a "solution" without any explanation.

For example, I have code that loops over cartesian products of arrays to find out the sets of elements that fulfill certain criteria. In the context of posts about that code, a solution in Prolog would certainly be shorter and exhibit far more beauty than nested loop constructs do in Perl. So, mentioning Prolog there, potentially with the example translated to Prolog would be OK.

As another example, changing the SQL statement from fetching all rows and then doing calculations in Perl to doing most of the calculation in the database already is another case where another language than Perl is discussed (and hopefully used).

But I didn't find any such discussion, or even beauty/succinctness/differentness in the posts by JennyC.

It's not particularly unsettling in context. This was the fourth biterScripting post in a row with no attempt whatsoever to make it relevant to the site, compare/contrast with Perl, or label as off-topic.
