in thread Taking advantage of multi-processor architecture

This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction.

(Carp, that's still Python . . .)

As hardburn points out below, that was a retronym backronym coined after the language was named. If you read chapter 27 of the Camel it gives the full history of where "Perl" came from (and where the "A" for "And" went).

Update: Bah, bacro- not retro-. I'm going back to bed.
