Not obvious to me that they think Python is worse than Perl, and make the phrase even less sensible.
- dizhn 2y agoWeird wording yes. I read it as "yes perl is better than bash" (I assume for tasks that need actual programming languages), "no it's not worse than python".
- ben0x539 2y agoI'm not reading it as "it's not worse than python", I am reading it as "the choice was between bash and perl, python was not an option for reasons unrelated to its merits"
- palata 2y agoSo you genuinely believe that they think Python is a better choice in this case, but still chose to go for Perl because they believe it's worse? How does that work?
- eviks 2y agoIt works by not mixing two different people: the commenter and the implementer. Also, it works trivially even in the case of the implementer - he might believe Python is better, but chose Perl because he likes it more
