This was a really well written article. Nice to see the nod to Larry Wall's excellent talk on postmodern languages.

- cutler 9y agoA lot of people who have never used the language sneer at Perl but I worked with it almost exclusively for the first 10 years of my programming career and still have a deep appreciation for the elegance of its design and the great mind that gave birth to it. Perl is the original linguist's programming language, superseded by Ruby, some would argue, which in turn was superseded by Perl6 with its built-in grammars.
- throwaway7645 9y agoYea...really wish Perl6 was more polished now.
