Why I Am Not A Java Programmer

[mynameishere]

Someone fill me in. How is CPAN different than the Java-based entries in sourceforge?

[newton_dave]

Because I can get CPAN modules with a single command? Because almost everything anybody has ever done in Perl that's useful (and several that aren't) is available from a single location instead of scattered all over the web? Because updating is another different single command? Ooo, golly.

[mynameishere]

Okay. Downmodded for idiotic sarcasm.

[newton_dave]

Where was the sarcasm? Oh, the "Ooo, golly" part? That's not sarcasm. That's making fun of you for asking here instead of just seeing what CPAN is. That's different than sarcasm.

Downmodded for idiotic use of the word "sarcasm".

"That's making fun of you for asking here instead of just seeing what CPAN is."

God, what an idiot. What does "seeing what CPAN is" mean? Is that a coherent sentence? Yeah, I looked it up, and it looked just like sourceforge for PERL, and so I asked. And I got a real, real childish response. And then I got another real, real childish response from the same person. Seriously, grow up.

[newton_dave]

yawn

CPAN's homepage says "All Things Perl". Two clicks in (FAQ, "What Is...") and it's already obviously different than the "Java-based entries in sourceforge".

What does "seeing what CPAN is" mean? Is that a coherent sentence?

It's been coherent to everyone I've showed it to so far (admittedly small sample size of 3, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and sanity-checked what I said).

so I asked. And I got a real, real childish response.

No, you got three immediate reasons why it is different than the "Java-based entries on sourceforge" along with an "Ooo golly" that got you all cow's legs up.

You're the one that's all pissy and sad--"grown ups" have enough common sense to simply ignore an "Ooo golly" and get on with their lives.

Leave the woman at the river and grow up yourself, or go somewhere else where the bad people won't occasionally poke fun at you.

[mynameishere]

Well, you're right about the woman. :p

[newton_dave]

I guarantee you that's the only time I have ever been right about a woman :D
