| xbud | [A-Z] will do i guess but i dont like it no, ruby :) i dislike perl |
| wingot | Heh Yeah, but at least perl gets regex right :) It's a wonderful language for sysadmin and text processing :) |
| xbud | obviously you've never used ruby :) |
| wingot | I have actually |
| xbud | im the one with the problem, not ruby |
| wingot | It's too far extrapolated from the basic code, don't like it :P It's like how I prefer to use ifconfig then a gui that does the same job |
| xbud | its clean and great for prototyping |
| wingot | Yeah, so's lisp! |
| xbud | haha you're comparing barebone code to perl dude c'mon |
| wingot | And python for that matter |
| xbud | anyway the argument is dull and old, its opionistic |
| wingot | perl just feels more like I'm in control of what's happening, feels much more like a 3rd level than a 4th Yeah, it's opinion |
| jra | what level is webmin? |
| xbud | that's a language? |
| wingot | xbud: To be fair, even word processers are languages :) |
| jra | it's php stuff for controlling server stuff. not a language but that "in control" thing seems a bit far off |
| xbud | i was saying cause i've never heard of it |
| wingot | However, webmin is a collection of tools in a nice easy gui :) |
| jra | yep. at least it's very straightforward |
| xbud | hehe so is gui crafting in vsC# but its still not right |
| fivre | we should program everything in Lisp simply because it's fun |
| xbud | yah cause braces rock |
| wingot | fivre: Yeah! Screw productivity! :) Unfortunately, my boss doesn't go for that arguement :( |
| fivre | who cares about productivity when you're having fun? |
| wingot | Me: But Lisp is fun! Boss: Get back to work! |
| xbud | wingot : then you point him to human computation |
| wingot | Course, as a Perl programmer, I get the benegits of these virtues: http://www.netropolis.org/hash/perl/virtue.html :) xbud: Human computation doesn't help in regards to getting the customer off his back ;) |
| xbud | in fact it does if implemented correctly |
| wingot | Well, not unless he wants to try to explain the concept to the customer ;) |
