Re: Why Python When There Is Perl?

Why does the mal-informed world prefer Python to Perl?
 Perl has EVERYTHING that Python can offer (and probably a lot
more).  Check out CPAN (www.cpan.org) which offers hundreds
of thousands of Perl modules that can serve any purpose.
 I suspect the reason is that Perl is an "imperative" language
while Python is "object oriented."
 Object orientation is for fucking programming sissies!
 Listen up, you fucking OO assholes.  It will all get translated
into imperative machine language in the fucking end.  So why
take a fucking gargantuan fucking detour?
 The answer is that OO "programmers" are programmers in name
only.  They don't know fucking shit about computer science.
 Perl is the interpretive language of choice.
 Anyone who does not gleefully choose Perl is a brain-starved
idiot.
 The case is closed.

 Disagree?  Your head will be broken.
 

You know, I first gathered my energy to go after the good old C language to freshen myself up with it, then I turned to assembly language cause you said so as "a sage advice", then I found out my general questions would be better answered if I learned hoc, then my general questions made a turn, and I was left with chances that the best language for me at the time was the good old C again; then on checking out Go and taking Ken Thompson's words for it, I let C go and began preparing to go after Go. And now, you're saying if we don't choose Perl we're brain-starved.
:-)
Then how about C++? I attempted it two times with vigor and thoroughness and both times HD's went bust and also once (so 3 times in fact) the laptop couldn't get charged anymore, and I could not transfer the work to a desktop, so they came to stop.
And these Microsoft / Linux stuff and switches back and forth were making the water even muddier.
I think, if I had not relied on COLA to provide help on these matters, by now, I'd be months into fruitful learning of ... probably C++ and into several exciting programming projects.
This place is wasteful. It is like a drinking parlor. You go there everyday and drink and joke and curse and argue, but in the background, it is making you an alcoholic, making you drift.
