:-) Well, to quote Larry Wall from here: http://perl.org.il/presentations/larry-wall-present-continuous-future- perfect/transcript.html (short URL - http://xrl.us/bhks6t ) <quote> I simultaneously believe that languages are wonderful and awful. You have to hold both of those. Ugly things can be beautiful. And beautiful can get ugly very fast. You know, take Lisp. You know, it's the most beautiful language in the world. At least up until Haskell came along. (laughter) But, you know, every program in Lisp is just ugly. I don't figure how that works. </quote> Cheers.
