Bet taken. With the current rate of Perl's decline, I think that's a very safe bet to take.

I know I'm an old hack, but not that old: I'll be 73 for 98% of 2030.
- btilly 7y agoBet taken. With the current rate of Perl's decline, I think that's a very safe bet to take. Awesome. I know how hard it is to get rid of legacy code, and there are a lot more startups that I'm aware of starting with Perl today than starting with Raku. I know I'm an old hack, but not that old: I'll be 73 for 98% of 2030. The "then" that I was referring to in that sentence was 20 years from now. Which is 2040. As I said, you'll be in your 80s at that point.
