    Wow that is a surprise. No-one even seems to talk about perl anymore.
    • leftnode 11y ago
      They're too busy getting paid writing Perl.
      • abrookewood 11y ago
        lol .. It's still pretty shocking. I know lots of programmers, including some that used to write lots of Perl, and none of them are still working on it. Those job numbers are crazy.
        • hoodoof 11y ago
          Could it be that there's so many open Perl jobs because there are no programmers to fill them?

            There are a still Perl shops out there. ZipRecruiter (where I work) and Booking.com are probably the biggest Perl shops in terms of Perl Dev headcount but I could be unaware of another company that's as big or bigger. There are a number of small to medium size companies in LA that are primarily Perl based and The Rubicon Project has a bit of Perl on the web side and C++ and Java for their ad network. Perl isn't dead, it's just not the hot new kid on the block by a long shot. As a point of perspective, there are still VB6 shops out there. That's way more "dead" than Perl or Python, but so long as the checks still clear...

              I think Rentrak in Portland is still an all Perl shop

  http://www.simplyhired.com/search?q=perl http://www.simplyhired.com/search?q=perl Showing 1-10 of 220,528 Perl jobs And you know, Perl is dead. Basically, Python gave a choice to a lot of people to either invest time into 3.x without any important improvements or to keep using 2.7 and invest time playing with other languages. Which in turn accelerated Python's decline and raised questions about it dying, promoting the idea even more. But there is no need to worry, it's not a bad thing.
  • hoodoof 11y ago
    Your snark was somewhat incoherent. Can you be more clear? guessing from the cpan in your name you're a Perl person?
    • joslin01 11y ago
      It was coherent and I would not define it as snark. You don't comprehend his point yet you have the wherewithal to label it as incoherent & snarky -- that's snarky. But I digress.. Python users had a choice to stay in 2.7 land or make changes to their codebase for not much in return. Many chose to stay in 2.7 land, which you could safely say is stagnant. As a result, if you can't keep moving with Python, where will you go? Since Python users have a choice to stick in 2.7 and get no rewards for it or jump into new languages that are evolving, they're going to jump into new languages and these same people are going to start saying things like "python is dead" because in their 2.7 eyes, it is dead. Finally, unless I'm missing out on some serious deadpan sarcasm, he concludes "Don't worry it's not a bad thing" because look at Perl who everyone says is dead.

        Maybe you think you "comprehend" his point because you decide to interpret it in your own way. But it was not coherent (and honestly I'm not even sure if that was a snark in there or not, mostly because it was incoherent).

  Keep in mind that scripting languages are often mentioned in job postings as secondary skills. There are TONS of "Java/C++ developer, would be nice if you knew some Python or Ruby" which get counted as "Python jobs" when you do something like this.
  • BuckRogers 11y ago
    And if you look at Rails vs Django, while some say Ruby is dying, the job market is definitely in Ruby's favor in the webspace. The thing is even posting this generates more hype for Python, even though it was researched rather unscientifically. It's marketing.
