Sorry about the not-blogging. To be honest, the response to that Perl vs Python deliberation rather freaked me out. It wasn’t terribly well thought-out, yet was followed by dozens of smart responses by people who I assumed spent their spare time simulating 1024×1024 cellular automata in their heads, or inventing a new form of anthrax and then devising the antidote – not reading me. It’s a bit like mumbling into your dictaphone and then discovering a little wire that leads out of it into Broadcasting House. I got the Fear.
I promise to be more slapdash.
