perl 6

Larry Wall For President

In just one article (his annual State of the Onion), Larry Wall gives the reader a full introduction to programming languages, compiler design and explains the current state of programming and scripting with elegance and style. It's the data equivalent of at least two college courses.

I'm now, dare I say, almost excited about Perl 6, despite having been osmosing Python over the past couple of years and Lua more recently. If sufficient work is done to provide the hooks into Apple's new Scripting Bridge feature of Leopard, it would make Perl the killer development tool for OS X as well.
