libera #perl often comments that part of the zen of perl and actually being good at it is knowing when to use something else. Sometimes people get offended when we give them a fully working awk/sed one-liner that does the job better but, uh, that's what we would have used ourselves! (or "that's seriously computation heavy, use C/Rust/Julia/etc. because much though we love the perl5 VM for quick scripts and large-scale OO business logic apps this is not going to work nicely and trying to force perl to do it will be a rathole") Though I do sort of miss my 'green threads via call/cc in guile sitting atop an ancient but functional perl event loop' system, it was ~20 years ago now and I'm not suggesting anybody else would ever want to use it, but in some ways it was still nicer than modern async/await style event loop driving nonetheless. (yes, I'm an outlier and should not be counted)
