Without intending to flame, I can't imagine that you'd say this if you've used some of the more powerful techniques in Ruby.
If you've used techniques X,Y, and Z in Perl, you can find them in Ruby. ... but unless you think in a Lisp-like way, you won't even realize that techniques G' and E''' exist in Ruby, but not in Perl.
- berntb 17y agoI have written some lisp-code in my days, what are those features missing in Perl?
- kscaldef 17y agoSome content would be nice, rather than the implication that I'm just an ignorant blub-er. So, once again, how about some of that data you say you collected to back up what you're saying? Which "more powerful techniques" are you talking about?
