Hi, Russell,

Thanks for writing, and thanks for following the posting etiquette
("[job]" starting the Subject header).

Your post touches on a question of some interest to me: how many
people are still starting startups on Perl? Ruby and, increasingly,
Python seem to be the choice of new outfits. There's always the
question of whether you need access to a large market of (possibly
less experienced) programmers, or whether you should just use the
language you know best and assume you'll be able to get enough good
people. Of course, if enough people come out of this reasoning
discouraged from starting Perl startups, that leaves more programmers
for oneself. :)

Clearly you've thought through this question. Do you have any thoughts
or experiences you'd be comfortable sharing?
