CPAN Shifts Focus

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the java-means-quality-if-you're-on-crack dept.

cascadefx writes "Looks like CPAN has changed its focus to support Java now. A look at their page shows that is is now CJAN, the Comprehensive Java Archive Network where you will find all things Java." This should be a great boon to Java, a language renown for, well, sucking. But at the expense of the greatest of all languages? It's just too sad for me to express in words. I mean, who uses java anyway?

    I officially demand that slashdot rename itself CrapDot every April 1st from now on, provided this constant flow of asanine bullshit pursists.

    Nobody, apparently.

  3. And CJAN will start supporting Perl by idcmp · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Of course, there really is a CJAN already.

    Next there'll be an article on the first maintainable Perl program greater than 6 lines long.

    Oh!
    You mean Visual Basic, the most widely used language in the entire world. VB currently runs on over 95% of all desktops and well over 35% of all servers in the entire world. A feat few other languages can claim.

    I didn't know CPAN had VB. I thought CPAN was all about Perl. You know, that language that has modules that break when you upgrade from version 5.000 to 5.00X resulting in something akin to Perl's version of DLL Hell.
