So the story goes. Care to relate some examples that show how it is worse than any other language?

I’ve seen mind-curdlingly horrible Perl of several varieties (novice, mad genius, and the biggest ugliest balls of mud you’ve ever seen), yet nothing has yet touched even the hem of the horrors I presented over-architected Java ravioli with acute patternitis.

I have seen absolute rubbish written in Python (which is supposed to be like pseudocode) and I have seen beautifally written Perl. It's 90% down to the individual writing the code. Perl just has a lot of syntactic sugar which can make it look like line noise to someone that doesn't understand it.

Any language you haven't taken the time to understand is write only. This is such a lazy trope.
