Your personal preferences do not indicate the fate of the industry.

Wow! A nice simple refutation of every "perl is dying" node here in the monastery. I wish I had more than one vote.

    A nice simple refutation...

    Not really. Personal preferences do not necessarily reflect the fate. But they might. Just because it's a personal preference doesn't make it not true.

    It's really a contradiction, not a refutation. A refutation needs to prove the statement false. A contradiction is just asserting the opposite.
