Perl is for having work done in a minimal time. If you want to write code that is easy to read, learn Ada. Python is probably a better balance. Perl is wonderful for all the small scripts I need every days. When something needs to be reused

As far as I understood, the release notes were not very explicit or complete (the list of impacted functions were missing) on this issue. Recently I have encountered a problem with redhat migration: /usr/bin/X11/xwd was "moved" to /usr/bin

The code is really easy to read. I think it is better to have so clear code than to have long (and stupid) texts

This study is flawed: the usefulness of type system is not for initial development of a small system, it is for the maintenance of huge code base. The fact that type system had very small cost for initial development of small system should

Even if it does not fit the Gnome agenda, there is a way to make everyone happy: just add an annex section in Gnome documentation describing how to configure all the tweaks asked by Linus. This "Linus section" would be useful for many peopl

The problem is that the prerequisite does not apply only to you, but also to all your team. It is ok to use C++ for lower level programming with performance requirements if all the development team knows very very well C++. Even if you fill

Stupid article. Why would you hate goto ? You should learn that goto exists and use it when it is the best choice. When writing software manually, this is rarely the best choice, but for automatic generation of code, this is very powerful.

First need of a good language: have a simple specification. The full reference manual shall be very concise, complete and readable. Even with a language as simple as javascript, the specification is a nightmare.

Depth of code nesting can be reduced using many syntactic tricks. You have shown the use of multiple return. This trick is generally considered as a hidden goto (go to the end of the function). 'GOTO considered harmful' is practically bibli
