Re: How good is Perl for AI?

[tonyday]

If and when the AI robots emerge from their non-conscious electric swamp they will undoubtably be powered by perl or a descendent. Why, because our definition of intelligent is based on ourselves and humans are a weed-like generalist species able to survive in many environments. Sounds just like perl to me. Perl will be like the English language; mutating rapidly, consuming the best ideas from competitors.
