- gerikson 5y agoI still use it on my blog (as a filter).
- jillesvangurp 5y agoI never knew :-). Perl was already a bit obscure by the time I got active in the late nineties. But it makes sense as the first wikis would probably have been implemented in that rather than in Ruby. Likewise, php would have happened later.
