		PySlice on May 5, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How Perl Saved the Human Genome Project (1996) I don't think that is a misconception. Perl is the language with the highest occurrence of "subtle" and "ambiguous" in its documentation and tutorials that I have ever seen. Humans may be subtle and ambiguous, but programming languages should be clear and precise.

If you contrast the original statement i quoted as a misconception, you will find that your opinion still is not the same as the actual misconception.
