I'm detecting some patterns in language-related blog posts lately:
* Python: What we're doing is correct! Can't you see that it's correct? Just look at the gleaming correctness before you!
* Perl 5: We're not dead. We're actually growing by a number of metrics. Why do you keep saying we're dying?
* Perl 6: We're Perl! Well, actually, we're another language in the "Perl family" ... but we're still called "Perl"! Actually, we're more Perlish than Perl. But also less so due to various improvements! Here, just look at the tutoria... hm... umm ... see you on IRC!
* Scheme: Check out my new implementation!
* Ruby: [empty]
* Lua: Wait. We're supposed to be blogging?
- ubernostrum 17y agoI dunno, seems lately that most of what I hear from the Perl and Python communities consists of "did any of you read these articles you're commenting on?" And, sadly, the answer is no, nobody bothered much with the reading or the comprehension; it's all "LOL PERL 6" and "LOL PYTHON 3 IS JUST LIKE PERL 6" drivel.
- jnoller 17y agoActually, the intention was to add to the rationale which spurred me to help author the PEP. That's ok though, it's still a correct decision. ;)
- garnet7 17y agoI don't mean to single you out, Jesse. I realize it takes guts to put your opinions online publicly.
- jnoller 17y agoNah, it's all good - I've seen the trend too.
- chromatic 17y ago> That's ok though, it's still a correct decision. It's a convincing article. I still don't know if I would have made that decision if it were mine to make, but now I understand and sympathize with it.
