Why I won't leave Perl

Future is hard to predict, but I think I'll never leave Perl
Why?

• because it helps me a lot
• because it's fun to learn new related topics
• because I learned it 15 years ago, and since that time, it steals me more than 4 hours a day thinking on it.
• because smart people share his work with me (via CPAN)
• because I have the opportunity to share code with others (via CPAN)
• because nobody is waiting for my thanks to do something interesting
• because I'm not waiting for your thanks to do something interesting
• because I'm free to select Perl and nobody pushed me to leave
• because I think that all people working with Perl is important for all of us, whether we like it more or less
• because you are reading this post, so Perl is live
• because Perl will survive us all

I know you have your own reasons, why not write about our motives to stay here? It's a good place to live!
