Olha, sou "artisticamente subnutrido"
Exmos Srs Bailarinos,

Morram longe!
Se isso é tão bom, se não "podemos dar-nos ao luxo de perder tamanha jóia" façam um spin-off e fundem uma companhia de dança a ver se aguentam uns meses. Se é tão bom, certamente outra Fundação poderá ficar com "tamanha jóia". Mexam-se! Só me faltava ter de ver o Estado contribuir para outro peditório.

Tanta gente preocupada com 40 bailarinos subsidiados, quando há centenas de outras pessoas despedidas diariamente e nobody cares.

"Não é justo, excelentíssimos senhores."
News flash! A vida não é justa, pq haveria isto de ser ? Deal with it like the others do.. without whining!

"duct tape of the internet"
Interesting facts from Tim O'Reilly...

That being said, there has always been an element of snobbery in the Perl market--I remember trying to persuade the authors of the second edition of Programming Perl, back in 1996, to pay more attention to the web. I was told that web programming was "trivial" and didn't require any special treatment. Of course, languages like PHP, which considered the web to be central, eventually came to occupy that niche. If book sales are any indicator, PHP is twice as popular as Perl.

In terms of the competitive landscape among programming languages, in addition to PHP, Python has long been gaining on Perl. From about 1/6 the size of the Perl market when I first began tracking it, it's now about 2/3 the size of the Perl book market.

Not that i prefer PHP over Perl, I don't... but I felt like linking snobbery to some of Pedro's posts. I won't. ;-)
