Re^4: The audience

[hakkr]

And I DO see the end of Java and C#, and NET except for the corporate fools who will hang on to it, because they "invested their life's training" into it.

First of all many corporate fools use and also hang onto Perl. Perl is not just the domain of the hobbyist.

And second of all you rightly point out there is a magnitude more trained up MS and Sun developers than Perl developers. But is seldom takes 'a life training' to learn a language. Its all just syntax, Give me someone trained in programming theory and best practice over someone who is blindly wed to a syntax anyday. it's not really a like for like comparison to compare Perl with Langauges that have been extended with Enterprise frameworks
