No. Our use is entirely new code (although we write a lot of code indo people only use it for legacy?

are fine languages, nothing wrong with them. I use them as well as
Perl, but unless I have a specific request, I always code in Perl,
because those other languages have nothing on Perl that makes them
better. Perhaps you can clarify in what way you mean they are beyond
Perl?

inane questions and then never replies in any meaningful manner.

good chance it's an attempt to troll and get people riled up (about
other people's opinions, ironically).

some recent articles that suggest that LISP will come into its own
with multi core processors.
If you haven't seen it yet, take a look at clojure. Looks like a strong
contender for the next "new lisp" - especially with its focus on
concurrency.

Peter said:Erlang appeared in 1987, the same year as Perl 1. There's a good
chance that Erlang is actually a few months older than Perl. Haskell
appeared in 1990, so it's a bit younger than Perl, but not exactly
new, either.
