We disagree because I do not know Perl, and you perform
with it. Alex - I'm trying to imagine that when we are typing
on a laptop - its a bit like percussion, if you hear the sound
of the keys. That can be seen and interpreted by the audience,
and it falls in with the waves of music you are producing. It
makes sense to their apparatus. BECAUSE Perl cause
a cognitive dissonance between your hand-actions and
the music, there is a problem.

Then they shouldn't come to a concert hall. It is true for most bar
and club performances though, if that is TopLap's destiny.

and i'm sure you did not mean to make such a limited equation.
It's a gross simplification, I admit.
