You know, that reminds me of coding sites about twelve years ago in Perl, and hearing about this upstart new markup language called Personal Home Pages. Like most developers back then, I figured there was no reason to learn a fad web page markup language when the native scripting language of Linux was so much more powerful. That, and us "true" developers all knew a non-standard, interpreted markup language like PHP could never catch on.




I miss Perl.
