  Perl developers can't spel either. [Thanks, I fixed it] BTW, I'm a huge fan of Ruby. I sincerely hope it has the legs Perl has and one day is it's equal or better. Perl's invent-your-own-OO-syntax is it's worst weakness - and that's what Ruby brings IMHO. So I'm very grateful to all the early adopters who are so passionate about Ruby. Having said all that, keep a close eye on Perl 6. There will be some big developments/announcements this year.

    > Perl's invent-your-own-OO-syntax is it's worst weakness - and that's what Ruby brings IMHO. That being said, there are a number of languages that have things in them that feel like dirty, dirty hacks. There are few languages that are fee from these sorts of things.

      "There are quite a few languages that let you earn a fee from these sorts of things." Fixed that for you! </humor>

    So, how do you feel about Moose? Is there any better OO implementation in a mainstream scripting language?

    " So I'm very grateful to all the early adopters who are so passionate about Ruby." Ruby is 15 years old. When do users stop being considered "early adopters"?
