Welcome in the endless loop of advocacy: An animation environment
needs a programming language embedded. So which do the bloated
companies choose? The one that people are familiar with and using a
lot. So Adobe supports JavaScript within SVG, not perl. Blech.
Convince them to use perl instead, more people will be using perl,
more people will be asking for perl in the future. How do you convince
them?
