- tialaramex 4y agoThe dislike of Perl in this context is that it's a write-only language. See Titus' recent talk about "Software Engineering languages" for some thoughts about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA_wUiNuhSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA_wUiNuhSc C isn't a good software engineering language but it might be better than Perl. Or in this context, maybe not.
