Re: Is PERL good for a linguist new to programming?

Well, I'll try anyway :) Thank you for so many suggestions and
comments.

I'm a drummer myself, I write music. However, I've always wanted to
learn a programming language but never really had a purpose. An I
agree, you can learn notes and theory but to have that nack for
applying that and actually write music is something different. Let me
see if I have it for programming.

Thank you!
