Okay, well here's a semi-random thought for the list:

Perl 5 OOP sucks. Even with Moose.

I guess I've been pampered lately, working mostly with C++ and Java.
Actually, Java has pretty cool feature which I just found out about
recently (being a Java n00b) called interfaces, where you can actually
define an interface (a sort of completely abstract class) and just
attach it to any class you want, independent of the inheritance hierarchy.

Anyway, right now I'm working with Perl because of a cool Perl module,
but I have to switch my code over to OOP, and even the Moose interface
seems awkward.

I guess Perl 6 is supposed to improve that, but as Perl 6 doesn't even
seem to be in the Gentoo repositories yet, I'm probably not going to
play around with it.
