in reply to Why I choose Perl
When I was in engineering school, I came to the esoteric conclusion that everything can be boiled down to "energy and
time", where "power is the energy available per unit of time".
Later, I came to add "information" as "patterns in the energy"
Perl is the best tool I've come across for manipulating "information" . I'm not the best at it, but I love it.
All I want for Christmas, is a language with the ease of
Perl, but compiles to elf. (OK, maybe add a visual IDE
for GTK which auto-writes the callbacks. Maybe that
can wait for next Christmas).
