Perl? Wow. I'm a big fan of perl, but I gotta say I thought it was dead. Despite, the dynamic features of the language, I feel like it's much mote secure and mature than other modern convenience languages like JS/TS and Python. It certainly is much faster in general.
- petdance 1y agoWhat does "dead" mean?

- neuroelectron 1y agoDepends on what you're doing with it. For shell script type of stuff where you're searching files, processing uploads or anything that goes through a pipe, it's just as fast as C++. For instance searching through tens of gigabytes of logs for certain patterns it will go as fast as the bus will send data.
