He admits freely that he is ignorant about Perl, so i am unclear why you would bother to subject anyone else to such childish insults borne from nothing but fear and hate of the unknown.
I'm not sure what do you mean? I didn't write this rant. I find it amusing because it has some food for thought – for instance side note about rewarding idiotic behaviour.
AFAIK Erik Naggum used Perl for a fair amount of time so I wouldn't call it a "fear and hate of the unknown" and it is about Perl hence also on topic.
The raw and naked idea is not entirely incorrect. Literally everything else in the sentences making up that section is.

Did you? I quote from the screed:
I once studied perl enough to read perl code and spot bugs in other
people's programs [...], but I don't write in it and I don't ever
plan to use it for anything
I don't know about you, but i find that unambiguous.
