More quotes by Larry Wall
At many levels, Perl is a 'diagonal' language.
Larry Wall
Orthogonality for orthogonality's sake is not something I'm keen on.
Larry Wall
Computer languages differ not so much in what they make possible, but in what they make easy.
Larry Wall
The computer should be doing the hard work. That's what it's paid to do, after all.
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
I don't believe I've ever cuddled my elses.
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
You know, I've got my hands in 30 or 40 different pots simultaneously and so I have a little bit of all of that where I work.
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
The court finds everyone to be in contempt (including himself :-), and orders everyone sentenced to five years hard labor. (Working on Perl, of course.)
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
Being famous has its benefits, but fame isn't one of them.
Larry Wall
For me, writing is a love-hate relationship.
