[Israel.pm] Essay: The Joy of Perl

[Srikanth Madani]

Great write-up.

Larry Wall as a Linguist, tried to make Perl feel like a natural language.
And it indeed does, more than any other language I have encountered.

What about Cobol? Surely it's got a lot of natural statements in it?  Add,
subtract from etc. :-)

The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be
regarded as a criminal offense.
