We’re not insulting Larry by saying he’s lazy; laziness is a virtue. The wheelbarrow was invented by someone who was too lazy to carry things; writing was invented by someone who was too lazy to memorize; Perl was invented by someone who was too lazy to get the job done without inventing a whole new computer language.

我们说 Larry 懒惰，并不是在说他的坏话。懒惰其实是一种美德。手推车是由懒得扛东西的人方明的；文字是由懒得记忆的人发明的；Perl则是由懒得工作的人发明的.

There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses. 

世界上只有两类编程语言：大家都在骂的和从来没人用的。
