I hate the fucking useless "continue" blocks.
I don't like them either, but it's no problem because I just chose to
simply not use them.
I hate the way Perl leads people to say "I don't like $BADFEATURE
either, but that's no problem, because I just choose not to use them."
And Every time I've worked on someone's Perl code they've gone ahead
and pulled something else from @BADFEATURE instead, so I still have to
deal with just about everything in @BADFEATURE whether I want to or
not.
Saying Perl doesn't encourage bad programming is like saying RJR
doesn't encourage smoking.
getting in to the sorts of hate that Perl enables
I hate knives because they enable people to slit throats.
Perl includes a knife blade in every necktie.
