One of the questions we have asked potential recruits at The Perl Shop is, "What do you feel are weaknesses with Perl?" I feel it's high time that I give my own answer to that question.

1. Ook!
2. Piet
3. Whitespace
4. LOLCODE
5. Shakespeare
6. Befunge
7. reMorse
8. FALSE
9. Whenever
10. l33t

The conclusion one draws from this list is unmistakable and undeniable: There are programmers in the world who have far too much free time on their hands!

When older people can no longer remember names at a cocktail party, they tend to think that their brainpower is declining. But a growing number of studies suggest that this assumption is often wrong.

Instead, the research finds, the aging brain is simply taking in more data and trying to sift through a clutter of information, often to its long-term benefit.

This makes sense.
