But how long have you been using english and how loong for perl? Does german make any sense? what about french?
All languages are the same, they have a syntax, and a vocabulary, we just use different terms for them in computing and spoken english. We then have things like verbs and nouns etc.. or operators, properties and objects?
heh, it was a bit of joke that comment! just that I can read some types of code if they have comments, if not i am stuffed at the first hurdle. I have seen the nasty things you can do with perl, it seems with perl there are no rules...
Anyway I don't want to get drawn further into this debate, as I know that you will hear me start to rant about education!
In for a penny if for a pound.
Ok, well i don't have a formal education. I left school when I was 13 because it was crap. You really don't want me to make comments on education as it will descend into a flame war that i really don't want to have on this list. My thoughts on the matter would be considered by some as rather extreme.
