  I also use Haskell and Common Lisp, and they both have non-beautiful websites. I care about what a langauge will help me do, not whether or not some websites that talk about those languages are pretty. This, I believe, is because I am over the age of 4.

    Those who ignore marketing are doomed to repeat it.

    No offence, but marketing is not evil and ignoring it doesn't help. And citing Haskell and Common Lisp as examples of languages which don't need pretty Web sites is, well, you know :)

        As much as I love Bill Hicks' work, that bit is not relevant to this discussion. (Plus he's really talking about advertising, not marketing)

        Everyone is in marketing. Everyone sells to everyone else. "Hey, wanna go to lunch? There's this cool Mexican place I heard about."

        Similarly, if we say "Hey, look how cool Perl is and all the cool things you can do with it," that's also marketing.

        I know it's hip to be all anti-marketing and anti-establishment, but if you want people to join our little group, you'll need to get past it.
