I think that’s really weird. Perl was mostly replaced by PHP, and nobody thinks PHP programmers are any good.

- CR007 3y agoWrong.
- Sosh101 3y agoThat's not very sound logic.
- civilitty 3y agoYeah you can’t replace a medieval torture device with a server side scripting language. It just doesn’t make any sense.
- legends2k 3y agoI understand your angle but the reason is not in the language's technicality but in the community and its culture. Most Perl speakers are seasoned hackers who are great at low level programming and use Perl when C was an overkill; their documentation skills are also noteworthy. Just my observation; I've read Perl docs (just type ('perldoc perltoc') if you're on a non-Windows box) and giggled at some of the funny remarks and admired pithy writing.
- solardev 3y agoI worked in Perl for a while and I'm the worst programmer I know, lol.
