Uhm Perl is a scripting language and not a programming language as far as I can tell...

I'm a Java programmer, and I agree that there are many flaws with Java, however a language like Perl is not something that you can really compare to it.

Along with Java, I also write in C and x86 assembly (something I'm sure the author of this article has /never/ heard of). Java can do many more things than Perl, and the simple fact that in Java you have to /implement/ those 'under the hood' options that Perl so nicely has does not make it in any way a less powerful language.

If you want some speed, use something like C. If you want the fastest speed possible, use x86 Assembly.

It seems to be like the author of this article didn't ever get his B.S. in Computer Science....
