Re^2: Why does it seem as though Perl has the only community of friendly, non patronizing or demeaning, programmers? What is with every one else?

If Perl Hackers have any flaw it could only be our painful, shocking modesty
Vey amusing post - it's a long time since I've laughed so much at a post on perlmonks. (And it was a very healthy, wholesome laugh ... not my usual disbelieving, sarcastic and cynical laugh.)
Nice !!!
I'm reminded of a post from Karl Glazebrook to the PDL mailing list (a coupla years back), where he suggested that the collective noun for a group of python programmers should be a "smug".
It got me thinking about creating collective nouns for groups of people who programme in other languages.
I thought a group of Java programmers should be called a "wank", a group of C programmers a "claustrophobe", a collection of COBOL programmers an "anachronism", a collection of C++ programmers an "aloof", and a collection of perl programmers a "cemetery".
Not so sure that everyone will agree, but ;-)

A japh of Perl programmers. :P Some animals have more than one collective noun, describing their activity or position. Like a raft, brace, or flock of ducks for floating, standing, and flying. Maybe Perl programmers need multiple nouns.

- Java: a verbocity.
- Javascript: an anarchy.
- COBOL: a shrinery.
- Fortran: a numeracy.
- Lisp: a reDEFinery.
- C++: a commitee.
- C: a memory.
- PHP: a nursery.
- Haskell: an academy.
- Ruby: a rolling-stock.
- Perl: a memory.

:P Thanks! I was doing one of the virtues, Hubris, while riffing on Ali. I wanted to do Lazy, just answering, "Because." But I'm too vain to take the downvotes for the joke.
