@whiskyjack,

I agree, I've now read the JavaScript and the Perl articles and you are correct, they are written by uninformed writers who seemed to have done little in the way of research.

From what I can see, all of the "to do WHAT?!" articles are written by the similarly uninformed. The Perl one was awful. Misinformation galore. Whatever your feeling on a language (PHP isn't my thing, doesn't mean I have a need to bash it) these articles do nothing but provide fuel for the language wars. They do not provide good information to the readers of CIO.

As a proponent of a language that occasionally gets bad press loaded with incorrect, baseless and completely wrong information, I feel for you.
