Friends don’t let friends use Perl.

  From the point of view of security, I rather have UNIX userspace stuff being coded in Perl than C.
  • habib_k 3y ago
    Which one is older C or perl?
    • pjmlp 3y ago
      Age doesn't play a role in security excuses. If it did, C authors shouldn't have ignored systems languages 10 years older than C.

      The perl interpreter is written in C, so that should be a good hint. :)

  Programming language police, pull over.

  Try it. It's fun.
  • hexo 3y ago
    It has some features one should never find in a programming language. Like overuse of sigils and that is not fun, but more like annoying af.

  So, skip over presented facts, use some sentence template which only insults and think you do something wise and rational ? I don't think HN was meant that way... Or maybe you possess some hidden knowledge about Perl ? Some NASA backdoors ? RCE's ? Tell us if you know !

  bah, use perl, its fun and fast. If you can make readable code in it, then you are a proper programmer. If you can't then you'll need to look at the other code you write, because that's probably unreadable as well.
