Re: Perl culture, perl readabillity

Nicely put, Merijn.

Stomping into (any) programming language camp and telling loudly that
what you are doing is wrong is a bit like stomping into a Mongol camp
and asking what's up with the funny fur hats.

Or, in the of case Perl, accusing us of too much line noise and being
too hard to read, is like complaining to the Chinese/mathematicians
that can't you just using Latin letters / plain English instead of
Greek and symbols so that the rest of us could understand you.
