Interesting. I'll have to check that out. Addressing your other response, there is nothing particularly ingenious about natural selection, as it really is just seeing how random mutations affect the fitness of whatever is being mutated.

This existed. For a while it was the canonical "let's learn SOAP" example in chapter 1 of every "using web services with SOAP" book. Then Google required you have an application/developer ID to use it and limited it to a certain number of requests. Then they took it down.

In all fairness, I suspect that if it had caught on and this problem became significant enough, it would have been addressed. I don't think its lifetime was sufficient to work out all the imperfections, and probably not long enough to see that problem in more than a handful of cases. Of course, that's all speculation.

I actually do program in Ada for work. I actually do like it for a lot of stuff. I designed a system from scratch with it, and it was pretty nice. And the best part about Ada is, if it compiles, it probably works.

I think Computer Science is really important. I used to rag on it, because I didn't know much and I had an inferiority complex, but after I spent some time programming, I really realised I couldn't reach my full potential without it. Thanks for the great link!

I take it from the way you frame things, you are a monolinguistic programmer. You don't have to restrict yourself to one particular programming language, and you don't "leave the Perl camp" when you learn or use another language. Once you learn some other languages, that will put Perl in perspective, and you will see...

Facebook reminds me of the old Microsoft, it's not that their visionaries or inventive, their skill is recognising successful products and copy it quickly.
