( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Very inspiring node, sstevens. It really made me think about my own experiences. I have been programming for two years (at most) with Perl being my first and only language. Of course, the first year was spent adapting my mind to Perl (no kidding, when I first picked up the language I had a hard time grasping why newline characters went inside the quotes, among other things). I have tried to get into python because it seems like a really fun and efficient language to program with but my attempts are fruitless. I always come back to the familiar; superior; Perl.

I wonder what would have happened if I learned another language first. Would I always revert back to that, or is it just Perl is so much easier?

Perl is like an extension of my own mind, and I cannot wait to learn more.</corny>

I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!

chomp; # nom nom nom

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
