For anyone else like me totally confused about why that link has nothing to do with Quora, look back a few dozen postings to see the link to the nearly two year old posting http://www.quora.com/Quora-Infrastructure/Why-did-Quora-choo... . Which says nothing about Perl.

is the link which is in the same conversation [which includes quora link you posted , the python ,the pearl and the comparison in the finest print i ve come across],but yes it takes patience to get that.
