You're getting too used to defending Lisp - the comic is an attack on
Perl.


Scot, you ignorant ***. The subject is comedy, not language wars. Do try to keep up.

Come to think of it, does Perl /ever/ get into flamewars? Java, Scheme, Python, OCaml -- sure, but Perl? Is that because it never tried to crawl out of the primordial ooze of scripting to walk upright on dry land? Seems to me that was Python's mistake.
