More quotes by Larry Wall

Larry Wall
Guilty as charged. Perl is happily ugly, and happily derivative.
Larry Wall
The young think they are immortal, and are determined to prove otherwise.
Larry Wall
If any ideology is so serious that you can't have fun while you're doing it, it's probably too serious.
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.
