2001-05-22 Thread Mike Lacey
I read *all* of Camel 1, it was a slim volume and gave (correctly) the impression that Perl is an easy to get into language that is useful for loads of things. You can justifiably still say those things about Perl -- but it's not the impression you get; and the impression is a lot of what counts.

ng of the Perl internals" Yes, I'm sure there are -- but normal users or Perl don't know any of them. This does not mean that their ideas, badly expressed or not, are rubbish. I could go on but I won't. My problem with the critique is this: Seeing a prominent person in the Perl community bad mouthing his user's best efforts has taken some of the shine off Perl6 for me; it was unkind.
