If we talk about foo you are right.
But we talked about lintian which is a tool I expect to be needed by
a lot of skilled perl programmers. Anybody of them will care about lintian
before I finish my rewriting job.
So we have linda and lintian. So what?
So nothing. I was just wondering why people spend there time with things
I would not really call effectice. Others play doom or whatever. I prefer
people spending their time with redoing things which are just done. So thanks
to the linda programmers to not just play shot-em-up games or eating
oysters with skiing gloves or whatever.
But the question was about the sense and I told here I fail to see the sense
(ins this special case) as I fail to see the sense of shot-em-up games (in
any case).
Kind regards
Andreas.
