22. "Perl – The only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption."
- Keith Bostic

Bostic has apparently never seen TECO, whose syntax strongly resembles dial-up modem line noise.

[1 J^P$L$$
 J <.-Z; .,(S,$ -D .)FX1 @F^B $K :L I $ G1 L>$$

sorts lines in a list.

(where ^B means ‘Control-B’ (ASCII 0000010) and $ is actually an alt or escape (ASCII 0011011) character)

One hilarious comparison of programming languages compared how they performed a task where the task was "Shoot yourself in the foot."

In Perl, you shot yourself in the foot, but no one else could figure out how you did it. Two weeks later, neither could you.
