All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report
I pour the blue liquid on the red liquid. If it doesn't blow up on my
face, I proceed to turn up the flame under the blue liquid, and so on.
I have very little idea of what I am really doing, I just like the
pretty colors :-)

Why? Unlike PHP, Javascript is actually a nice language. It has closures and syntax for regex literals, everything is an object, and it doesn’t confuse arrays with hashes. It doesn’t have lists or easy array flattening, and it’s usually syntactically more verbose than Perl, but usually semantically equally concise, because in many ways it is very similar to Perl.
I wouldn’t be unhappy at all if I was forced to write Javascript for the rest of my life.
