I have a mate who swears Miranda is fantastic.  It would be pretty hard to 
get a job writing it, though :-).  Mind you, it would probably be at a 
university somewhere, so it could be the best job in the world!

I don't think perl is a BAD language, just that so much bad code is written 
in it.  All those funny symbols and the fact that people tend to treat 
everything as a one-off and not document it well.  I can't remember ever 
seeing a perl program I was able to understand well within a reasonable 
amount of time ... other than the ones I've written, of course :-).
