Perl was my first programming language. After more than two decades, it is still the language I feel the most efficient in. Glad to see Perl is still alive and kicking !
- shrimpx 3y agoIt was my first language, too, that I learned to write “serious” programs in. I just didn’t think a prominent modern company would choose Perl as their main language. Props to them.
- zerr 3y agoSuch choices always come down to personal preferences of tech founders.
- icedchai 3y agoI wrote my first web apps in Perl, way back in the 90's! "use CGI" anyone?
- shrimpx 3y agoSame here. I also built a few web backends using Apache mod_perl, which was insanely fast compared to CGI.
- stasmalyshev 3y agoPHP started as mod_perl app, too.
- stasmalyshev 3y agoOh yes, those were the days!
