Surprisingly, embedding C++ in Perl is easier than embedding C. Of course, that's just my opinion, there aren't a lot of docs on the C++ topic, and I am one of the few Perl programmers who actually enjoy C++.
The Parrot VM http://www.parrot.org/ is supposed to be for dynamic languages what the CLR and JVM are for Microsoft and Java respectively. If it ever makes it to prime time, then you could use your CPAN module with Ruby, or vice-versa.
As a Perl master, I agree with your perspective: Perl is the UNIX philosophy taken past its logical conclusion. It is more logical than shell scripts, more terse than C, greater than both for the everyday tasks that befall a serious computer user (and absolutely essential for a UNIX administrator).

They still do that, because the web is timeless. The majority's view of Perl seems to be stuck back in the 90s.
I dropped out of a BS program, have 6 years of career experience, a dozen years total experience, and have never had a door shut on me (that I know of) due to my lack of "formal" education.
But I also recognize the gaps that a formal education would have filled, and work to educate myself.
A degree is nothing without the ambition, and ambition is everything.
It probably is/was being considered, but a normal video player is ubiquitous even on mobile platforms, as opposed to what amounts to a spectate-only client which would cost money to develop. And, if they host the video on a provider like Youtube, they don't pay for the bandwidth (unless there are rules above a certain limit).
You get a Real Job (tm). At my Real Job I make enough money to pay some contractors at my game company, and I spend my nights and weekends coding for the game.
No, I don't have a spouse or a social life to speak of, why do you ask?
Easier, sure, but who ever had fun doing easy things? I've been the lone developer on an MMO RPG for about 3 years now, and we've just started releasing previews to small groups of our followers.
If you can keep at it, do it. If you can't, try something different. The only necessity is to finish: Anything finished is better than anything not finished.
Everyone I have talked to who has been forced to use the ribbon has eventually concluded that it is indeed a better interface than the old toolbar/menu combo. The only ones I know who still complain about the ribbon are the ones who never gave it a real chance. Also, 9 out of 10 statistics are made up on the spot.
The repair install went away because it frequently broke programs. Every time I tried to do a repair install I just wasted my time when a full reinstall would have actually left me with a working system. This was just one more thing that pushed me away from Windows entirely.
What sysadmin wants to type commands? Every professional non-Windows sysadmin ever. I refused to admin windows systems because I couldn't script basic, repetitive tasks (which I hear PowerShell is working to fix, but why do I need Windows servers with expensive licenses when I have OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Debian?).
Oh god, did I just feed the troll? If one eats troll food does one become a troll?
I remembered nothing about this leaked memo, but now that someone's all angry about it, I'm going to go find out as much as possible. Thanks Cisco VP for helping me find some entertainment!
It started getting bloated long before Microsoft acquired them. Anything that doesn't have to do with making calls or chatting is bloat. Integrated social networking? Advertisements to "spark conversations"?
Yeah, my initial comment had some rebuttal to those ideas, using analysis and evidence, to show that one can make any argument convincing, either emotional or analytical, by picking one's words and/or evidence carefully. But the main problem, I think, with all our discourse, is the idea that "disagree with me" equals "stupid" or "enemy" or "unpatriotic" or "emotional" or some other ad hominem that doesn't do anything to bolster the argument.

Murderin' for food?

Murderin' for their own good?
A gun is a tool to end life, it has no other purpose.

Maybe YOU haven't seen one.
But 1 and 3 could be true, or 2 and 3. So, "one or more" can be fulfilled with those subsets.

Because using a hard drive as memory is about as fast as chisling cuneiform into rock. Swapping 1Gb would be absolutely unacceptable.
But how did it taste afterward?
YES! Now I can say "jif" and NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! The world shall soon be mine!

How would you taking a picture ensure legitimacy?
Thats why it is illegal to take a photo of ANY ballot, not just your own.

You've conflated "disagreeing with me" with "irrational response". The truth is always more in the middle.
