That's exactly the attitude those proposing name changes want to dispel. "People ask for name changes so they can show the rest of the world just how alive Perl 5 really is."
- cageface 15y agoGood luck with that. In 1999 every programmer I knew used Perl. Now I don't know anybody that hasn't moved on to Ruby or Python.
