Perl was obsolete like 10 years ago.
15 is pushing it.
Perl 6 never caught on.
And I should have written "obsolete" in quotes, because it's basically very idiomatic sloppy python and no one is saying python is obsolete.
Démodé is a better description.
- behnamoh 2y agoPerl was a beautiful name and sounded like "Pearl". Perl 6 is named "Raku" which I find substantially worse naming.
- drusepth 2y agoI think those of us drawn to Perl by its beautiful name (and potentially-art syntax...) have long since migrated to Ruby, for better or for worse.
- singingfish 2y agoI thought it was more that python was basically perl with the fun bits removed. Or to put it another way: python helps you think more like the computer does. Perl helps the computer think more like you do.
