Comment on

It's funny how often this conversation comes up, offline and online. Out of curiosity, a PM search produced these interesting vectors on similar questions.

They are quite interesting reading. Hearing many veteran Monks' comments and experiences was pretty useful. Take a look!

These are in no particular order, plus, I'm confident I must've missed some threads in my searching/reading.

Perl vs C++
Perl Vs. C
Perl VS Python

Plus, there's the Perl Mongers; the Perl advocacy people, and Tom Christiansen has a "Perl vs...." page Here.

Spending some time on this was very good for me just now. Thanks for bringing it up.
