This slide is particularly scary in that sense. The slides are for
a talk given at Yet Another Perl Conference that just occurred in Montreal.

Note the 'signs of pragmatism in a formerly ideological world' comment!
This is praise coming from Perl, and I'm not sure what to think. :)

(Please note that I've already given the author of the slides some suggestions
on how to improve the Python on this particular slide so don't bother 
mailing him about it. Nathan's a nice guy.)
