Language Bashing
For the first time ever, I've found something that Perl can't do easily: Generating a WSDL file. My boss says that Java is an acceptable programming language, and that I should find a toolset that lets me write web services in Java with WSDL files. I found one, and am now learning Java, thanks to a well-placed $20 at Half-Price Books.
Wow is this a letdown for being such a "cool" language. Strings are a class, but numbers aren't? If the class name and the file name have to be the same, why is the class name in the file not optional? I'm not even going to ask how to write the equivalent of Acme::Bleach.
I just hope that writing web services in this is really easy, or I might have to go back to Perl and write my own WSDL generator.
