Why are perl users so pretentious?

Perl users think they are so fucking special because their programming language is "logical" and at least 500,000x better then PHP (Which it is, but so is every other language. PERL's main advantage seems to be it "isn't PHP")

Perl code is by far the ugliest most unreadable code ever. Seriously, why can't any perl user comment their fucking code? It seems like perl users are so pretentious that even when they release their source to open public, they expect us to understand it perfectly.. And if we can't, we must be PHP users! That's real fucking logical.

Fuck off PERL.

Actually yes. At least if it's PHP 5.3, i herd it has some sort of closures and fixes []. What I definitely know is that I wouldn't like to do Perl for the rest of my life.

Perl's just a dialect, although the best one at it. Thankfully it was imported into almost every other major language (though most implementations like Python's or Racket's lack some features and of course they'll all lack the ability to run Perl).

This is a troll. I can tell by some of the words and from having seen quite a few trolls in my time.

BTW, I'd go with the FIOC, but I secretly like Racket to grow popular and win, or at least, somebody please make a Lisp compiler to FIOC VM and somebody else please write a new FIOC VM to get rid of the stupid GIL.

XSLT is the biggest brainfart somebody could ever shit. Let's greenspun XML! Far too enterprisey to be worth anything, and it processes XML, which isn't worth anything either.
