Re^2: Switching from lang X to Y

I am most definitely going to give Julia some cycles. It sounds very interesting with some nice features. I'm glad you mentioned it.

Of course, it won't replace Perl :)

Of course, it won't replace Perl :) For me neither any time soon, but after having flirted with a dozen or more languages over the last 10+ years, I finally found one that feels right to me. I still find myself missing Perl every other line when I use it, as with pretty much every other language I've tried, but less so that most. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
