I want you to know that your greatness is recognized.
If only half your bio is true you would
still be a hero of Perl. I'm not on or off any meds it's
just an obnoxious sense of something, hopefully
related to humor, at least once in a while.

No I did not challenge you.

That was me! :-)
MediaWiki was indeed prototyped in Perl. It was abandoned
quickly because the performance was too awful. Again reinforcing
everything I've been saying.
Has anyone seen that source code? It probably has
backtracking regexes all over the place or something. Since
when is PHP faster than properly deployed Perl? I know you
don't like my little theories but wiki was coincidentally
"replaced" during a time of extreme php evangelism and
constant vicious attacks against THE "competition" for their
commerce: an established free open perl
community. Are we sure some zend operatives didn't talk
wiki out of perl for the sheer profit of market share? Corporate
espionage and sabotage are very serious businesses even when I'm
being too suspicious of coincidences. (Like the scam to give
away slow versions of PHP that you could pay to make faster
with expensive hosting services.)
Even if Wikipedia absolutely HAD to be translated into PHP3
(or was it 4?) because Perl 5 sucked 18 years ago
and mod_perl was way slower than mod_php at the time (really? lol)
the point of mentioning it is that Wikipedia was indeed prototyped
in Perl. I often hear Perl is good for doing that sort of thing
rapidly. They should have fixed the wiki and stuck with Perl
instead of being recruited by an evangelical pseudo-intellectual
cult of rabid vulture capitalist carpetbaggers obsessed with
spreading their ridiculously bad copy of Perl:
"We founded Zend roughly two and a half years after starting on
PHP with the mandate to provide backing and solutions for
companies using PHP, and also to proliferate the usage of PHP
around the world."-Zeev
Why in the world would anyone want to work with or take cues
from some nameless, error tossing screed factory with your
attitude, biases, and practices from the 1990s?
Because the 90s spawned tons of cool technology that is
still completely relevant, one of which this site is all about,
and, as you know, still included with every new Apple computer! As
for my namelessness this site graciously allows it so whatever.
I AM a screed factory with attitude and biases but I don't
mind my errors being corrected either. Thank you for sharing
your thoughts, and all your work for Perl!
Speaking of the world, I can't help but notice that our favorite
American programming language has been under constant attack by
an axis of evil international forces from Canada, Israel (PHP),
Holland (Python), Japan (Ruby) and Russia (How does one guy
named Igor beat the entire (U.S.A.) Apache Software Foundation?
Cool name though...).
Ahh the fun never ends:
