fuck this shit

So I was reading this Ruby book, "The Well Grounded Rubyist",

Excited to finally get into this popular web 2.0 programming language,

Hoping to see cool features and a nice syntax,

But it wasn't too long before I realized --

At first I thought it was just 'me' --

But no, Jesus Christ, it's true!

FUCK THIS SHIT. RUBY IS JUST LIKE FUCKING PERL!

What the fuck is this shit. Am I so old that I'm the only one who remembers Perl? All these web 2.0 people are 10 year olds?

Why the fuck would I code Perl with different syntax? If for some strange reason I feel like coding Perl, I'll fucking code Perl.

Fucking Japanese, stealing our stuff, even if it's horrible.

Why the fuck would I code Perl with different syntax?

That's the whole point of Ruby. Even the name suggests its relation with Pearl.

Some people just want Perl with different syntax.
