PHP allows me to practice my typing skills, ruby doesn't. As a touch-typing enthusiast, I like to practice typing. The problem with ruby is that it allows me to do the same things that I can do in PHP, but with much less typing. [..] If I could create classes with public getters/setters that easily in my day-job, my fingers would atrophe and I'd get no exercise at all. I want my keyboard smoking after typing out a class definition, and a paltry three lines of ruby fails to satisfy.

This is certainly the best designed troll blog post I've seen but far from the most subtle..



When the sarcasm is so clear, you can't call it a "troll".

Real trolling is an art :)


[[off-topic warning]]

``trolling is a art'' ;-)


You're right - I guess that's what I was trying to get at with the lack of subtlety. Or my standards have slipped.. ;-)
