IMHO, Python is also huge nowadays. :( (The language itself, that is, not counting the 500K+ third-party libraries that it has nowadays.) As for the Camel book

As for the Camel book, what I liked about it is that it explains why Perl is the way it is... the underlying philosophy. Once you know that, it starts making a lot more sense. You usually didn't get that with books like "Learn Perl in 21 days" or something.
- noufalibrahim 3y agoI get that. My gold standard for technical writing was (and mostly still is), the C programming language by K&R. Brief, to the point and not missing anything. It's what I expected from the Perl book but didn't get.
- SuaveSteve 3y agoYou will look up how to interpret `match` whenever you see it and you will like it. One way to do things? Pfffft.
- noufalibrahim 3y agoOh, it lost that a long time ago. (e.g. string formatting methods). However, this was around 2005 or so and at the time, Python was significantly smaller (conceptually) than Perl. Atleast to me.
