Over the next few weeks I would like to try and track down
and read a few interesting viewpoints on programming.  So
I am trying to compile a list of things that I should be
interested.  I don't care if they are Perl specific, in
fact if anything I might prefer if they are not.  For

programmer's opinions about language design trade-offs
even though Perl was not one of the langauges discussed.&lt;p&gt;

his premises or conclusions, I found Richard Gabriel's

article fun and educational.&lt;p&gt;

So does anybody have more to recommend?</field>
