Perl was meant to be used as "better bourne-shell". Why would you make "big projects" in perl?

- rwmj 9y agoOh sweet summer child. You have clearly never worked on a 100,000 line web service written entirely in Perl in 1999.
- gnulinux 9y agoDoesn't matter you cannot hate perl for doing something it's not meant to do. You cannot write Python code for a super performance critical task in a 500KHz microchip and decide that Python is a horrible language. Python is not meant to be used that way. You should use assembly or C. My point is, if you abuse the intent of languages, they all may end up horrible. It's like writing purely functional OOP code in C.
