All Perl code I have ever seen, has been "write-only". Just completely unreadable and it was easier to just look at the output instead of the code when converting it to Python to get actual maintainability.
- Kelteseth 2y agoYou are getting downvoted, but for me, it is the same experience. It's a dead language, and we are switching to Python, that is far better to maintain for me and for all our new hires. I mean, Perl doesn't even has a debugger on Windows.
- hpcjoe 2y agoNot true by any stretch. I've used komodo[1] for more than 2 decades as a debugger in Linux, Mac, and Windows. More recently VSCode on all 3, for debugging. Definitely not a dead language. A mature and stable language, which won't surprise you. [1] https://www.activestate.com/products/komodo-ide/ https://www.activestate.com/products/komodo-ide/
