This language must be the spiritual successor of Perl

  I inherited some piece of code that made use of an extremely long and complicated jq script. I simply gave up understanding the whole thing, and restored the balance in the universe by rewriting it in Perl.

    Now you just need to rewrite Perl in Rust and compile that to WebAssembly. And the circle of HN is complete.

    I know perl is useful. I know it's going to help me. It seems like you can get away with a quick perl script whereas a python script would attract scrutiny. But it's such a painful language to look at.
