Strangers work pretty well on the Internet, I hear. Anyway, the speed
difference in this case should leave plenty of time to master the
piano. Sanskrit, *and* regular expressions (which are easier to learn
to read than Devanagari, but not as pretty, IMHO). :)
I say regexes rather than Perl because they're (1) the most important
part of the script in question, and (2) used all over the place in
tools and programming languages that aren't Perl.
