I would think that the number of big sites that is/were built on Perl (IMDb, Amazon, ...) would be a counter point to that. Of course, it's not the right tool

I would think that the number of big sites that is/were built on Perl (IMDb, Amazon, ...) would be a counter point to that.
Of course, it's not the right tool for everything - far from it - but it is a Swiss army knife.
- SimHacker 15y agoAnd the number of companies still using COBOL and FORTRAN prove what? As Dr. Turing's proof demonstrates, they're both swiss army knives too.
- ufo 15y agoThe Church-Turing thesis is not a proof - it is a definition of computability. (The thesis is that it is the reasonable definition. For all I know someone could come up with a new kind of computation that is stringer then turing machines and then we would have to redefine our notions.)
