Re: Re: The Code Changes All Of Us

[Revelation]

The code changes all perl programmers forever. Personally, perl has forced me to look more into the logic of statements, and the underlying 'code beneath them.' This has rekindled a love of philosophy I had years before, when I didn't understand what was actually being said, but was entranced by the concepts dancing in front of my eyes. The concepts can now be broken down, thanks to greater logical ability, and this greater scrutiny has made my work more inciteful in school according to my teachers. (many of them who I've had for more than a year have remarked about the change in my thought process.)

Although perl is supposed to conform itself to you, and allow itself to become intuitive, in many ways we're forced to conform ourselves to the perl community, and its sense of logic.
