- danmur 3y agoYeah for sure, the PERL influence is why I dislike Ruby. Makes it really hard to read if you haven't been doing it constantly.
- cdchn 3y agoPython's clean, obvious syntax is what drew me to it. They actively decide to not do things because it detracts from the cleanliness of the syntax. Very often, less is more. My biggest fear is Python might be forgetting this, which I see with the sort of things like := operator, etc.
- cutler 3y agoGod forbid we should have to familiarise ourselves with a language before using it.
- cdchn 3y agoGod forbid things be intuitive.
- KingMob 3y agoFunny, because 99% of current regex libraries use Perl's regex extensions.
