There is also this:
'But I think the basic Perl paradigm is "Whatever-oriented programming."'

This reminds me of when I realized I could become more efficeint as
stocker in a warehouse by implementing a "wherever inventory system".

Did anyone else crack up when Larry Wall described python with the
statement:

Python, as the "anti-Perl," is heavily invested in maintaining Order.

In the state of the onion address?

-3 on QOTW !
The whole article is as he describes it in the opening paragraph, a
rambling strole through whatever took his fancy . Of no great weight
and so the -3.
Good luck to Larry on Perl 6 though.

Was fetching the items stocked someone else's job?

Perl? Larry who?

(I've been going to a hypnotherapist who specializes in erasing bad

But what this really means, in practise, is "dis-oriented programming."

Think he's just too charming. I never got through Larrys whole
apocalypse. A little weirdness like this one is a great piece but too
much of it is insane.
