Todd, I took a quick glance at the link you gave and all I saw was reference to the Brain* language (whose author I believe should be ashamed of himself for that name--something like "Braincramp" would have been better). I have all Andrew's books and read many of his blogs and never noticed any trend of vulgarity (which, I too, am sensitive to). I do see evidence of several Perl and Raku people whose speech can sometimes be quite crude and blasphemous, but I'm afraid that's the modern world: good manners and civility have all but disappeared in public places. I will say, though, that the #Raku IRC channel has much less coarse lingo and much more kindness than most other places I visit. I have had several email conversations with Andrew and he seems like a nice person to me. I sometimes think non-native English speakers pick up bad speech habits because of the absolutely sewer-mouthed "popular" folks on Twitter. Best regards, -Tom
