I did once get into a rivalry with a Perl programmer over
obfusticating a coding exercise. I knew from the start that I had no
chance, but I was impressed with how close-run I could make it with
Python. Fun, yes, but no way anything I would consider for code that
is actually going to be /used/ in any way whatsoever!
