  1. Does anyone actually still use Perl? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Isn't that a dead language kinda like Cobol?

    Three years on and it finally aaallllllmost just about works with Apache 2. Brilliant. Thanks to this and the spectacular fuckup that is perl6, is there anyone left who hasn't switched to Ruby or Python?

      If you're such a bad developer that you can't possibly write good, clean and maintainable code in Perl, then Python won't help you much.

      Believe me, it does. In Python the good, clean, maintainable code practically writes itself. In Perl, the good, clean, maintainable code won't even *run* ;-).

      Even if the code was semantically "correct" and good, it would still be ugly and painful to write because of all the $@->.

  3. Python: Syntactically significant white-space by fanatic · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I've started to learn python twice. Each time I run into the concept of "Syntactically significant white-space" I run away screaming. Give me braces, damnit.
