Re: Remain calm and confident in difficult times

[tinita]

my experience is more of the kind that java programmers i meet often rant about perl before i've said *one* word about java. they usually laugh about perl not being a real language because blah blah. my opinion about java is that i don't love it like perl but it's not bad at all. i just prefer perl whenever i can because i like it, because development time is shorter and because performance is better (in my experience, that is!).

so my question would be why are a lot of java programmers agressive like that?

often the same people continuously try to convince me to use eclipse and make jokes about vim. can't they just shut up? i don't bug them with vim either if i'm not asked.

The difference: vim is an editor, and eclipse is an integrated developmenet environment. Got it? No? That's fine, I didn't expect.

They bugged you because that they had good reasons, you didn't bug them, because you were using a loser language, and you knew that.

Although you didn't dare to argue with them, but you did come to this PLEC (Perl Loser Exclusive Club) to cry and comfort each others.
