You could turn it around too: what could you build in another language that you couldn't build in Perl? Well, nothing really. It's a matter of taste, and I think what continues to set Perl apart is its syntax, which could be really good and readable when you don't try to do code golf.
- InclinedPlane 11y agoI didn't say could or couldn't, we're talking about turing equivalent languages of course so that question is meaningless, I said would. You can code anything you want in native assembly, or in brainfuck even. But why would you? If you have some impressionable new college grad just getting into the industry how would you convince them to use Perl to build things instead of any other option?
