I'm not sure what do you mean? I didn't write this rant. I find it amusing because it has some food for thought – for instance side note about rewarding idiotic behaviour. AFAIK Erik Naggum used Perl for a fair amount of time so I wouldn't call it a "fear and hate of the unknown" and it is about Perl hence also on topic. So your point is? Did you even bother reading it?

Literally everything else in the sentences making up that section is. > Erik Naggum used Perl for a fair amount of time > Did you even bother reading it? Did you? I quote from the screed: I once studied perl enough to read perl code and spot bugs in other people's programs [...], but I don't write in it and I don't ever plan to use it for anything I don't know about you, but i find that unambiguous.
