I'm such a fan of how Larry Wall speaks and writes, it's filled with a million little tangents that are stories of their own, but everything relates to the same thing of course. His BigThink videos are entertaining and enlightening. I've always respected Larry, even though Perl was sort-of "before my time" and I never got to write much in his language. But the fact that I mostly have written in languages (for server-side web development) that have been influenced by Perl makes me feel like I understand what he was going for.
