[Zope] Perl + Python = Parrot?

[Farrell, Troy]

I may be the fool, but if you read the article at perl.com, it's an april
fool's joke.
http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/04/01/parrot.htm

Look at the code snippet:

    # copy stdin to stdout, except for lines starting with #
    while left_angle_right_angle:
        if dollar_underscore[0] =eq= "#":
            continue_next;
        }
        print dollar_underscore;
    }

silliness :)

Hi all,

Just reading a press release on python.org:

  Perl and Python to begin joint development
  http://www.python.org/parrot.html

I thought Guido and the rest of the Python crew worked at Digicool, but
apparently he just accepted a job at ActiveState, together with Larry Wall.

Where is this going? If Perl and Python are merging in the near future,
we'll need to find another language to fight our language wars with ;)  C#
maybe? :)

Cya
Jonathan
