These projects use millions of lines of Perl code and trust me, there are lots of other companies, banking infrastructures included (!), that use Perl as their backend or in-house services.
- eterevsky 3y agoI stand corrected regarding big projects in Perl. I still don't think it's as good for big projects as Java, C++ and probably Python.
