Is this one of those Internet "memes" making the rounds? http://webmat.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/do-not-learn-ruby/ http://webmat.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/do-no

  I think it's just these two articles so far (considering the link in the opening line of the article). Which is probably a good thing, since they'd all be pretty similar: "Don't learn [interpreted language X]. It has [features A, B, and C] that you will miss when you have to go back to programming in [more popular compiled language Y]. You'll be so frustrated with [Y] that you'll have to quit your job to work full-time on [X] -- which is coincidentally what I plan to do."

    Don't learn Tcl. It has Tk, Expect, Interp, Tkcon, wiki.tcl.tk that you will miss when you have to go back to programming in Arc.You'll be so frustrated with Arc that you'll have to quit your job to work full-time on Tcl -- which is coincidentally what I plan to do. Wow, It works!

  A refreshing deviation from the tired "10 reasons to do whatever" meme...

    It's also better than "X Considered Harmful," although I'm not sure how much better.
