It means :
1. I know a good thing when I see it.
2. I'm too old to change from procedural programming to
object oriented programming, which as far as I can tell OO means
full employment for anal-retents.
3. I believe that doing something in 30 minutes in Perl with a big
internal organization fight as opposed to 30 days in Java and
some slime ball greasing around saying how cool everything is
is worth it.
4. I am to lazy to learn Java. And what does it do for me anyway ?
5.
