Assembler can do anything perl or awk can do, and do it much more efficiently, Lawrence. Just out of curiosity, Lawrence, what's the percentage for you to continually try to trigger these Language Wars? What do you get out of it, Lawrence? Especially since you know as well as everyone here that perl and awk are toy languages compared to the One True Language, right, Lawrence? Come on, Lawrence, the gauntlet has been thrown, Lawrence. Let's see what you've got, Lawrence. The One True Language vs. perl and awk combined in the tag-team Match of the Century(r) (tm) (k). Are you man enough to take it, Lawrence? I advise you to just give up now, Lawrence, and face the fact that the One True Language is so far and away superior to awk, perl, and yes, I'm sorry, Lawrence, but even Python - despite your passeltongue fluency, The One True Language rules, Lawrence, and your favorite languages drool, Lawrence.. So, Lawrence, man up and respond, Lawrence, as the world awaits your wisdom. Lawrence. -- Lew Honi soit qui mal y pense. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Friz.jpg
