More quotes by Larry Wall
The problems that I really like to solve are our cultural problems.
Larry Wall
The autodecrement is not magical.
Larry Wall
I think it's a new feature. Don't tell anyone it was an accident.
Larry Wall
Are you perchance running on a 64-bit machine?
Larry Wall
I think I'm likely to be certified before Perl is.
Larry Wall
I'm sorry, but you just made me lose my sense of humor, which is deeply regrettable.
Larry Wall
Perl was designed to work more like a natural language. It's a little more complicated but there are more shortcuts, and once you learned the language, it's more expressive.
Larry Wall
If you write something wrong enough, I'll be glad to make up a new witticism just for you.
Larry Wall
I still drive my 1977 Honda Accord. The paint is almost all worn off. It's still running.
Larry Wall
The random quantum fluctuations of my brain are historical accidents that happen to have decided that the concepts of dynamic scoping and lexical scoping are orthogonal and should remain that way.
Larry Wall
Now, I'm not the only language designer with irrationalities. You can think of some languages to go with some of these things.
Larry Wall
I've had to learn kind of sense when the questions would be coming and be ready to handle them. There's a lot of education and reiteration that happens on these online channels and sometimes it's tempting to just say, Well, just go and read the documentation, but you know, people appreciate being led along and taught and mentored.
Larry Wall
But I know what's important to me, and what isn't. And I think I know what people can get used to, and what they can even learn to like. (It just takes some people longer than others. :-)
Larry Wall
Post-Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature, and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science.
Larry Wall
So please don't think I have a 'down' on the MVS people. I'm just pulling off their arms to beat other people over the head with.
Larry Wall
I view the JVM as just another architecture that Perl ought to be ported to. (That, and the Underwood typewriter...)
Larry Wall
I just hope I'm never promoted to the level of my incontinence.
Larry Wall
The whole intent of Perl 5's module system was to encourage the growth of Perl culture rather than the Perl core.
Larry Wall
You don't have to know the whole language to use it usefully, you can do baby talk, you can do grown up talk, you can cuss in it, you can write poetry, you can be a playwright, is sort of the idea.
Larry Wall
What you'll need most is courage. It is not an easy path that you've set your foot upon.
Larry Wall
