I've worked in enough Perl at one point to actually like it but I would never recommend anyone learn it unless they absolute have to. At this point it's effectively a dead ended language. It's also a terribly difficult language to learn.
I don't particularly like the Javascriptification of every technology but these webdev graduates have the right idea.
- eonw 10y agoi didn't find perl terribly difficult to learn at all, but then again i learned it 12-15 years ago and maybe it was more on par with other languages at that time. don't think i would want to learn it now though, still have a strong appreciation for it though.
- wvenable 10y agoPerl is full of strange grammatical rules and even stranger conventions that it's one of the few languages I learned 15 years ago that I can't just pick up and use. I've forgotten basically everything I ever knew about it and yet other languages from the time period, even some odd ones, I can still grasp enough to restart the process.
