Evolutionary Algorithms - JJ Merelo 7 Optimize speed-to- Optimize speed-to- publish publish What's important is not so much how fast is your program (but more on this later). It's how fast are you able to go from idea to a paper. Perl helps a lot in all the process, from data massaging to rapid prototyping to logging and statistical processing. You can write code faster in Perl than in any other language. Imagen by quinn.anya in http://www.flickr.com/photos/quinnanya/202167244
