Re: two good poems; Wether perl any good?

Sandip,

Well-thought-out responses.  I must regretfully withdraw from this
discussion at this stage, since this looks like becoming a long
battle, and I doubt if either of us will be able to convince the other
fully of our points of view.

My original objective in posting wasn't to start a battle, just to
point out some of Java's shortcomings.  I admit that the tone and the
language could have been less extreme, but I'm not a particularly
level-headed chap at the best of times ;-) and I think I deserved the
response I got!

In parting, all I have to say is that I personally believe that Perl
is a better language for many tasks.  However, the GNU, Linux and free
software movements are all about choice, and each of us has to decide
for him/herself what his/her own (programming) poison is -- there's no
One Size Fits All :)

Regards,

-- Raju
