I don’t really miss perl. I do miss the period when perlmonks was relevant to me. I haven’t really seen a similar community since. Maybe rose tinted spectacles on my part but i learned some really enlightening algorithms on there specifically in text processing and i recall it being a really warm community.
Randall Schwarz used to run a podcast that was a total goldmine. Fond memories of listening to that on the train on the way to work.
- btilly 4y agoMost of the people who were on perlmonks are still around somewhere. Often with the same or a similar handle. (I added my first initial to mine.)
- wazoox 4y agoActually some still are on perlmonks :)
- collyw 4y agoI miss perlmonks as well, now that I do mostly python. It was like stack overflow, except discussions were encouraged. It gave you far more understanding than copying a SO answer usually does.
