The best thing about Perl in comparison to Python is that programs written in Perl age very well. You can run decades old scripts without any updates, versioning and/or dependency hell or other headaches. Even better, also across platforms. I stopped using Python because of the anti-experiences with all that.
- gbacon 3y agoPerl’s documentation runs circles around Python’s.
- collyw 3y agoWas thinking that sounds strange, but that's because 90% of my Python is done in Django (which has excellent docs). Python's own documentation is horrible to read for some reason. Whenever I need to remind myself of how to use regexes in Python, it's the first place that comes up, followed by finding a tutorial elsewhere.
