01:57:03 < knowtheory> tarcieri: i'm reading through the original presentation that that negative piece of criticism was pulled from
01:57:22 < knowtheory> And i would like to note that Perl has a Perl::Tidy lib ;)
01:57:34 < knowtheory> that the presentation calls a "Perl code beautifier"
01:57:55 < knowtheory> which... is a bit of a strange concept for ruby, since if your code is illegible, it's probably wrong anyway :P
01:58:19 < knowtheory> so, they can troll all they want about # of tests :P
01:58:35 < knowtheory> (and the original presentation is clearly not about trolling other languages, which is nice)
01:59:52 < knowtheory> also, it's worth noticing that the Perl Test suite took 5 years to go from 26,725 tests to 78,883
01:59:57 < knowtheory> and they built a freaking VM in the mean time :P
