… obviously Perl community is nicer :)

On the other hand, those people who do bridges between languages are doing very important jobs (not only from technical point of view!)

So, I consider your addition as very helpful.

Even bad publicity is good. I had no idea who you were until they decided to drop you. So, I just added your feed to my NetNewsWire after they decided to drop you. Happy Blogging.
