: What do people think? What, do people think? :-)

More from Larry Wall

  1. It's, uh, pseudo code. Yeah, that's the ticket... [...] And 'unicode' is pseudo code for $encoding. :-)
  2. Well, sure, I explicitly mentioned 'vtables' last time I brought this up. But a single pointer is fairly paltry, as tables go. :-)
  3. So please don't think I have a 'down' on the MVS people. I'm just pulling off their arms to beat other people over the head with.
  4. I dunno. Perhaps you should be happy that I have a policy of refraining from grumbling about handicapped operating systems. :-)
  5. I view the JVM as just another architecture that Perl ought to be ported to. (That, and the Underwood typewriter...)
  6. Perl did not get where it is by ignoring psychological factors.
  7. I note that the Python folks still think they like JPython. I wonder how long that will last?
  8. On the plus side, it's a lot easier in general to find /usr/include than cpp.
