The language geek part of me loves Perl. The business part of me would never let it be used for production code. Too much business risk to tolerate.

- inimino 7y agoCounterpoint: this is why almost all business code lacks quality. (To be clear: not because people aren't writing Perl, but because we tend to reflexively reject any technology that people are passionate about because "risk". But the risk of writing trash code that nobody ever could be passionate about is less visible. Also: I'm not saying there's an easy solution to this problem.)
