Geizhals is a huge price comparison app in the german speaking market.

- patates 1y agobooking uses Perl? that's one of the web sites that gives me the irrational "the backend must be Java" feeling. can't explain why though.
- lysace 1y agoGot curious. Seems like they have been a heavy Perl shop from the beginning. Their backend developer job ads appear to be oddly programming language neutral which I assume means they're still using Perl a lot. (Been there, done that, when recruiting for work in an unusual programming language.)
- whilenot-dev 1y agoI don't think they're comparable... I read stories on how a paid reservation at Booking.com isn't a guaranteed stay at a hotel. Geizhals gives you the stock and availability infos right on the results page. Seems like one is making better use of Perl that the other.
- joz1-k 1y agoAnd according to "DuckDuckGo Hiring" page, the DuckDuckGo search engine still uses Perl 5 in their backend.
