<i>I might be wrong, but I really can't mention any other group of people trolling Perl discussions.</i><p><i>Everyone</i> is out trolling the Perl discussions.  PHP developers hate us, Java developers hate us, Ruby developers hate us, and Python developers hate us.  I think this is funny, because we generally don't hate the other languages, we just embrace and extend their good ideas for Perl.  (The Perl community has come up with a few good ideas on their own, but the best ideas have been borrowed from other languages.  Moose is from Smalltalk and CL; PSGI is from Python; Plack is from Ruby; Catalyst is from Java; etc.  I think, in general, the stolen ideas have been improved upon in Perl; I like using Moose a lot more than I like using CLOS -- and I like using CLOS a lot.)<p>The only place outside of the Perl community where I can admit to liking Perl (and not be flamed) is #haskell.  But everyone is nice there.<p>(I've even been trolled in real life over my like of Perl.  I was going after some girl, who apparently had a friend that was a Java developer.  Perl came up, I came up, and it was resolved "he must not be very good at programming if he prefers Perl over Java".  Guess who got the girl?  Not the Perl programmer.)
