>>Not sure your time-saving thing really works, especially if 99% of problems you have are not solved by a perl oneliner.

That's because if you don't have a paradigm of thought, you are not likely to reach for a tool that works there.

Most of the times, I have seen Java programmers watch in total awe that their pet weekly project, that took 40+ hours to accomplish, was basically a vim macro that they could have done in like 3 - 5 mins.

That was my whole point I made, when I said, when a Java dev says they have like 10 years of experience, thats barely a Junior perl dev.

I'm guessing most Python/Java programmers would find it impossible to work in project which doesn't involve a database, XML, or json. Those languages are not designed to work with a data or a compute paradigm outside of these formats.
