Not true actually: a lot of the big Perl modules have cores written in
C with stubs in Perl to allow one to call them easily. The Perl interface
to PostgreSQL is the first example which comes to mind. To make life even
more interesting, I imagine it's only a matter of time before it becomes
possible to run Java from Perl and vice versa (assuming it isn't already).
Ted's general point is correct tho: different langs suit different people
and different projects, although if you decided on COBOL or something you'd
obviously be quite mad. :)
