All the "big" Perl codebases I've worked with were as readable as I'd have expected any "big" codebase to be, if not better. What was your experience like?

- mattbillenstein 7y ago25k lines of spaghetti garbage - all in one file.
- Grinnz 7y agoSorry you had to deal with that. Do you think it would have been easier to deal with 25k lines of spaghetti garbage in a file named .py?
- mattbillenstein 7y agoI think it actually probably would have been - not an ideal way to write code, but Python is certainly easier to read than your average Perl.
- orpheline 7y agoI don't find it so. I do both Perl and Python at work: the Perl code is almost always clearer to read IMHO. I know some people find curly brackets and sigils distracting, but to me they make code less ambiguous.
