I'm not lynching... :) just another point of view.
There is no problem in having several solutions for the same problem. It's
competition and it's good.
Sometime e rewrite something I saw in PHP or other language because:
1. although I know php, i'm more fluent and faster in perl;
2. perl is fun, so i'm having fun, when programming perl :)
3. reimplementing something makes you think about the problem, and the
solution to the problem. You get to know the problem better.
I do use application in php and other languages, but sometimes... :)
