Why Perl? - GAVollink's impression (Score:1)

by GAVollink (5690)

There are plenty of successful VisualBasic programmers who do a great job creating applications for use on the Web and Desktop. They may know that C++ is more powerful, but most of them never need the low-level abilities that C++ allows. As a whole (especially given a Windows environment), VisualBasic is good enough for almost any job.
I look at it this way:
Perl is to C++ as PHP is to VisualBasic.
PHP is probably the hardest group, as a whole, to convince. PHP is more specialized, which makes it easier

    What's the expected timing? I need to get a book review out within the next week and a half, and I've read about half of the book. And that's (also) outside of my day job, but otherwise, yes.
