Too much hubris in the perl community to read emails properly?
a) I *do* use C#. I also use perl.
b) I *do* like some IDE's.
c) Nobody is stopping me
All that was made blantantly clear to anyone with the care to read
what I've written, or the ability to comprehend simple english.
So, what was the point of *your* email? Was it to highlight the
reasons perl is going to eat itself? (through a stuck up community
clinging onto the notion that their language of choice is the best
while everyone else overtakes it)
Well done, the PR nightmare that is the perl community continues ;)
