Ha! I thought I was the only one... When I first learned Perl two years ago, I wrote my programs in a very boring, imperative C-like style; in the time that passed, I exposed myself to the functional side of Python while also learning some deep Javascript; last month after having come back to Perl, I noticed that the new code I am cranking out basically looks like Lisp with some curly brackets in-between.

God, do I hope that the programmer that comes after me is as excited about the code-as-data, data-as-code paradigm as I am... Or at least can understand anything I wrote :)
