Because Perl is the "glue" or "duct tape," if you will, of the internet.
- jamesbritt 17y agoThat was succinct observation in its day, but I hardly think it applies now. Things have changed a whole lot. That's not to say perl can't be used today, but its relative value has decreased. "Duct tape" is no longer the ambition to admire.
- shippingcomps3 17y agoPerl is the most resilient language. Even if things have changed, it will be back. With a vengeance.
- samdk 17y agoPerl may have once been the duct tape of the internet, but it's pretty solidly into its 'drying and peeling off' phase right now.
