First, Godalus implied that he knew what he was talking about regarding Perl, until it was pointed out that he didn't. Then he changed story. Edit: I might also add that Godalus' second code example modified an array inside an append to the array -- inside two tight loops... I've only seen things like that in obfuscations. (It could be extreme optimization -- but with a few earlier versions in comments or cvs/subversion/git/etc.) Tell me THAT code choice is not trolling...? Edit: Removed the rest, which has been written by multiple people in this thread.
