- jqm 12y agoOh, I agree 100%. Python is referenced because I personally knew I could do much more compact re-writes in it. Also, I'm not sure, but I believe, had the original hacks not been done in Perl, the authors (and others after them) would have had much less trouble untangling the mess and they wouldn't have had 10 year old bugs no one could fix.
