I am not old enough to have learned perl but not young enough to not know some perl and its problems.
But the article or at least the title would be much more suitable if perl is replaced by "CUDA". You can't be working with that and be arrogant, because even self centric people would suffer enough pain not to change. And if perl makes you feel it is made by humans. Then "CUDA" sure would feel like something that came straight from the hell.
Note: I understand that the article is more about talking about perl and remind people that it existed and was famous language one day. But I couldn't resist the temptation of the title.
Interesting - one of the most single-mindedly arrogant engineers I ever worked with was an absolute zealot about CUDA.
Could not stop talking about CUDA, and why everything else was terrible, and how nobody listened to him, and how that was because they couldn't handle the truth, and how he could solve everyone's problems if they would only let him, on and on. He didn't last that long at my company.
Maybe he was taking his CUDA pain and pushing it onto other people.
