Eggcellent meditation my friend! This really opens my eyes to the fact that I really don't code that much..
Damn, thats sad, or is it?? Case in point:
One program, 5 scripts in C. Moving forth to rewrite the code in Perl at an attempt to optimize it, I learned SOOO much more about programming in general that I could have ever imagined. A few weeks later(Come on I knew nothing of Perl!) I had my one and so far only production code. What do we have now? One program 2 scripts, faster execution, smaller footprint, less memory usage, and a really happy manager! Since/During, I have only written an IRC bot, a few cron scripts, a GOD AWFUL attempt at an ESN converter, and a few scripts here and there to make life interesting.
I guess what I'm getting at is this, YOUR RIGHT! Not to cheese out ehre or anything, but.... Perl: Making Easy Things Easy and Hard Things Possible, since Jan 31 1988!
-- Can't never could do anything, so give me and inch, I'll make it a mile.
