Take Visual Basic.... Perl is the ultimate target for programming language hate, because it has all the things that other languages have. It has so many different programming paradigms, so many different faces, anyone can hate it. If there's something hateful about VB, probably Perl has it too, in some form. If there's something hateful about Java, probably Perl has it too, in some form. Etcetera. Hating Visual Basic is like hating any Microsoft product. Way too simple, way too easy. Predictable and boring. :) -- korajn salutojn, juerd waalboer: perl hacker <juerd@xxxxx.xx> <http://juerd.nl/sig> convolution: ict solutions and consultancy <sales@xxxxxxxxxxx.xx> Ik vertrouw stemcomputers niet.
