I wonder if Randal came here (2 messages in this group) to spread the
|
|
regular Perl propaganda (summarized by "This language is icky because
|
|
programmers are icky")....

Randal, while I'm sure you're a good guy, and I liked ``Learning Perl'',
|
|
most of us at c.l.py heard more about Perl then we'll ever want to --
|
|
in fact, I think many of us moved to Python from Perl, and never looked
|
|
back. (Or we'd turn into salt)
|
|
|
|
(And hey, Randal, when you wake up and start using Python, I'm sure you'll
|
|
be one of the best c.l.py posters <0.5 wink>)
