Quote #79

We question most of the mantras around here periodically, in case you hadn't noticed. :-)

More from Larry Wall

  1. I think $[ is more like a coelacanth than a mastadon.
  2. That could certainly be done, but I don't want to fall into the Forth trap, where every running Forth implementation is really a different …
  3. Call me bored, but don't call me boring.
  4. Tcl long ago fell into the Forth trap, and is now trying desperately to extricate itself (with some help from Sun's marketing department).
  5. Of course, I reserve the right to make wholly stupid changes to Perl if I think they improve the language. :-)
  6. The whole intent of Perl 5's module system was to encourage the growth of Perl culture rather than the Perl core.
  7. I'd put my money where my mouth is, but my mouth keeps moving.
  8. Randal can write one-liners again. Everyone is happy, and peace spreads over the whole Earth.
