It's totally true.
And for many good reasons. The communities who's wheels we are reinventing are not open. They are not welcoming. They are anally retentive. They expect us to bend to their rules. Well Perl always made its own rules, and for that it needs a VM made for them. But they should perhaps look back at themselves and think just why we're reinventing wheels. Perhaps they need to reinvent their own rulebooks? I mean how successful has Smalltalk and Scheme really been in the commercial world? Not terribly. Even compared to Perl's small standards.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
