At lunch on Friday, Chip Salzenberg volunteered that he'd programmed in Python for money. I then asked everyone what was the most degrading language they'd programmed in. Chip apparently had a more degrading language story to relate, but fortunately lunch arrived.
Cast in order of appearance: Chip Salzenberg (Pumpking for 5.004), Jarkko Hietaniemi (CPAN Master Librarian and Pumpking for 5.8), Dan Sugalski (Parrot API Designer), confound (from #perl), Allison Randal, and Larry Wall (creator of rn).
