Did I really just say that? 4
So, I heard myself telling a bunch of people at RailsConf Europe that the buzz about Ruby and Rails is the sound of “a bunch of Java programmers finally discovering how cool Perl is.”
Which is normally the sort of remark I keep to myself.

There’s also a few perl 5 programmers busy realising how cool perl 6 is going to be, but that’s another story.
Did you mean “A bunch of Java IDE-button pushers realizing how cool programming is?” ;)
You might think so, but I couldn’t possibly comment.
