That would still potentially be a comparison of standard libraries. And you 
can't get away from that, really.

But it is a valid point that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Almost no 
one I know who's seen Ruby code argues that Perl is better -- but then, 
almost no one I know dislikes Firefly or Serenity. I'm finding out that the 
Internet is a bigger place -- if there is an opinion, someone holds it.

Some people hate Firefly.
