All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

The negative role model

TorgoX on 2004-10-16T23:01:21

Dear Log,

Shlomi Fish doesn't like Perl 6.

I've learned a lot from Shlomi Fish over the years. And this is what I've learned: Shlomi Fish is not just often wrong, he's always wrong. He's so reliably wrong that you can just listen to him and do the opposite of whatever he says, and you'd be right all the time. He is the Ass-Backwards Buddha.

And that, if nothing else, is why I now love Perl 6.

At least George is funny. :-)

We now have "that-guy.ny.us" and "that-guy.il". Anyone up for a quick registration and redirect?

Shlomi Fish is "that guy"?

Re:As seen in #perl

merlyn on 2004-10-18T09:00:42

No, that-guy.il, aka "That Guy #2". that-guy.ny.us is "That Guy #1". (or #0, if you like.)

Does that make him an array or a hash? :-)

what the #$@% is That Guy ?

gabor on 2004-10-18T18:37:23

I have been following your discussion for a while.

Would someone please explain what the #$@% is this thing ?

That Guy

TorgoX on 2004-10-18T22:08:35

I shall explain!

PLEASE GET FISH INTO PERL6 DEV!

Please get this idiot onto the Perl6 mailing lists ASAP before he does thing crazy like submit patches to Perl5. Perl5 is fine and dandy and doesn't require his starry wisdom.

Perl6: The perl5 feature-request sink.
