"There are some really good gems of wisdom in this, such as the meditation on the three qualities of a good programmer (laziness, impatience, and hubris, along with a warning against false laziness, false impatience, and false hubris).
And it taught me the value of highly opinionated language designers.
However, some of the particulars of the opinions-- and the attitude with which they're presented-- reveal a big part of why I haven't been able to stomach much Perl for the last 8 or 9 years (e.g. "An object is merely a referenced thingy". Cute. But disastrously wrong: this led to a bogus object oriented approach that was a complex nightmare from which I'm not sure the language recovered.)"
"My first day of PERL was August 21, 1998, and I have been hooked on it every since, and I don't know why? If you need or like PERL then you gotta have this book. It should be called the PERL Bible."
