    Perl already won once - in the nineties it was the technology that powered the whole web.

        Machine language won. Without it there would be nothing else... :-D

        You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
        Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
