Developers in their twenties say “What’s Perl?”
- cutler 6y agoYes and developers in their 50s retired in their mid-30s after making fortunes writing Perl.
- davorg 6y agoI wish :-)
- mrtweetyhack 6y agoYes, they also retired writing assembly, C, Pascal, Fortran. Doesn't make it a good language
- lizmat 6y agoDevelopers in their teens say: Wow, Raku! https://raku.org https://raku.org (formerly known as Perl 6)
- daotoad 6y agoI'm in my late 40s and say "Wow, Raku!". I haven't used it for anything work related yet, but working with it is mind expanding and makes me a better programmer in whatever environment I work in. The type system, multiple dispatch, literate programming support, and command line scripting features are simply amazing.
- totalperspectiv 6y agoI am not yet 30. My first job was all Perl. I really hope this bumps Perl back into the niches where it excels. Because there are definitely areas where it is the sharpest and best tool for the job.
