Great Hackers

Paul Graham, Nov 01, 2004

Daniel Lemire sent me this item which expresses in a way that I can why I prefer some types of software (like Perl) and not others (like Java). Once you get past the (probably false) pseudo-economics in the first few paragraphs, it's a good read. I don't know if I'm a hacker - probably not in the true sense of the term - but most of what's there rings true to me.
