You hit the nail on the head. I especially support your comment on Swing being a superior GUI. One thing I do like about TK though, are those cool tear-off menus.
The only thing I don't like about Java, besides the slowness, is its size. It's too big to be a scripting language, and it wasn't designed to be.
Or maybe this just proves that PerlPeople just can't communicate. Example: Perl's pitiful documentation compared to Python's rich, perfect, strait-from-the-mounth-of-god, Guido himself documentation.
Oh, and how extensible is Perl? I never heard of an applet written in Perl. Sure there is Jython, but no Jerl (it sounds too stupid).
I believe someone else mentioned Perl on a Palm, and how it doesn't exist. But Python is mighty Pippy on a Palm.

Did anyone else see the WiredMag (hard copy) piece on scamming the sammers? 'twas funny. August issue I think...
