Wow. A five-paragraph I-hate-Perl rant by someone who obviously neither knows the language nor wants to. Though I probably wouldn't recommend Perl as a first language for everybody either, that's some pretty weak arguments. Appeal to auth

A PBSC-based donation is preceded by a few day's worth of treatment to activate the bones' BSC reproduction, so that they're numerous enough to outgrow the bones and actually become "peripheral". So they're really taking away cells that yo

That fear is natural, and the reason why the various bone marrow organizations have all sorts of available brochures and web pages available. For a first hand account: I've donated bone marrow by peripheral blood stem cell extraction, and i

Indeed you get a pretty sweet deal, and I know a few that do. But the R&D benefits aren't only for startups, most big companies try to fit all they can under CIR ("Crédit d'impôt recherche"— research tax exemption ).

main=print n n=42 In C or Python, this would print 0 or undef or some random contents. In Haskell, it prints 42. The "assignment" reaches back to instructions before itself. Which ought to hint it's not really an assignment

Polish has the great advantage of being highly regular: you learn a few rules, you shape your mouth innards the right way, and you can read out anything. Compare that to french, chinese or english...
