Re^4: Ruby Before Perl? Nah.

[chromatic]

The thing is I think people writing Perl don't tend to think "the duck typing way" (if one might posit such a thing) to the extreme that Ruby encourages it.

I find it more likely that the Perl community doesn't fall all over itself to drool all over itself and slap new silly names on decades-old techniques blatantly and obviously ripped from other languages as do some parts of the Ruby community.
