I'm not embarrassed at all.  Don't make it personal.  I think you personally
have some crazy and often irritating opinions.

I stand by what I said.  Android is intended to be a portable device GUI
interface, and if you expect to use it on the command line like a "normal"
linux distribution, you are in for a world of frustration, although it's
certainly possible if you put in enough effort.  I don't recommend using it
that way.

I didn't say you can't run perl or python.  I said it's not there natively
and you can expect difficulty if you want it, and other packages that would
be considered "standard" on other linux distirbutions, such as ls and gcc
and make.
