Computer languages differ not so much in what they make possible, but in what they make easy.

Post-Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature, and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science.

I try not to confuse roles and traits in my own life. Being the Perl god is a role. Being a stubborn cuss is a trait.

Well, hey, let's just make everything into a closure, and then we'll have our general garbage collector, installed by 'use less memory'.

It won't be covered in the book. The source code has to be useful for something, after all.

I'm sorry, but you just made me lose my sense of humor, which is deeply regrettable.

I suppose you could switch grammars once you've seen 'use strict subs'.
