It's a nice read. Larry Wall is a very smart and insightful guy. I
think he's been getting better at being diplomatic. Obviously he does
still have a certain amount of an antagonistic bias against Python,
and I'd say the feeling is reciprocated in the Python community.


These genius types, what it takes to stay focused on one project for so
long ... ISTR
that Wall started on Perl in the early 1980's and here it is 35 years
later. They build
a sort of cocoon around themselves and it's woven of rationalizations about
why their
approach is worth most of their waking hours for their entire professional
lives, and it's
glued onto them by the adulationof their disciples.

Chuck Moore also comes to mind, among others.
