What's the matter with Perl? I don't remember seeing it anywhere near the top-paying programming languages the last couple of years. What happened this year?

- ipnon 6y agoI don't think anything has happened to Perl. Instead, the popularity of all its alternatives has exploded. edit: I can count the number of Perl scripts I have used at my job (0). I cannot count the number of Node and Python scripts I have used at my job (there are too many). The niche has been filled.
- jeffbee 6y agoIt correlates strongly with tenure, which I imagine also correlates strongly with pay, so perl is transitively associated with money. I bet perl is also associated with SRE, the rarest and highest-paying role among these survey respondents.
