Because its faster at OO than Perl 5 and has a tonne of other builtins that make it easier to write algorithmically performant code. Not to mention its trivial to write parallel code. I dont think there have been any optimisations in the re

In British English at least to cast shade on is a perfectly common idiom.

Given this commentary, its probably worth highlighting you're the developer of an entire fork of the perl codebase... Rather than the average user.

Well not just what they know, but what all their existing stuff is written in. Makes sense too. The two Perls aren't really that compatible, far worse than migrating Python 2 to 3 and companies struggled with that manoeuvre. You can ru

Ok then your definition is corporate ecosystem then? Perl in general is hardly the stuff of scaled soft eng. in a mega corp. It wasn't designed for that, but to empower an individual to be highly productive quickly. With that in mind t

Because they don't know much about contemporary Perl. It's actually a really good indicator of if someone actually knows anything about the language post the 90s. I used it as a soft hiring filter on CVs. You knew almost as matter

Point 2 is kind of nonsense. The ecosystem is incredibly big and keeps up with most things. Name something then search here https://metacpan.org/ The main missing stuff is anyone marketing heavily their libraries and there

Its the main reason any language is hated. JavaScript now is less hated because the tooling got there and people were educated at university to program in it well. PHP and Ruby are on the list of disliked on the SO analysis. Which is basica

This book is genuinely awesome. Im not sure why its so cheap in hardback but im glad it is. I buy almost anyone I know whos interested a copy. It's very good at giving you the right impression whilst being clear and easy to learn from.

This article mentions two things as if they are unrelated. That the cellular environment is crowded is exactly why you need transport proteins and vesicles. All the really fast proteins are mostly going nowhere, they're just wobbling o

If god was so great (or at least smarter than humans) most of it would work a lot better than it does!

Nope. Its no urban legend. Recent findings now suggest there are free tissue bacteria species previously unknown about in humans. So the numbers of bacterial cells to human is only going up with understanding not down.

I recommend checking out how the Perl 6 MoarVM implementation of these things has been handled. Specifically with respect to optimising string match and indexing. Samantha McVey the main dev looking at unicode in the VM at the moment just i

Did you try with an actual array or a Python list? https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html or numpy you might be able to recover the same effect. Your average line of Python is miles away from low level and s

It doesn't follow at all because the vast majority of genetic diversity is not tangibly self evident from just being friends with someone. We all share the same number of genes with each other. The common differences are tiny single ba

You understand genetic similarity does not mean you look similar or come from the same tribe necessarily? Especially since the age of heavier than air flying machines.

A big problem with your site is it links to stuff as if its significant/important/real. Nearly every single variant I followed through on was basically bogus. An intronic variant with like 50% of the population having it.... Liter

IRC is free and what Slack is based on. There are plenty of nice clients, and it's easy to write "plugins" you just write for the protocol like a webapp.

I'm going to be snobby. There is a vast VAST difference between the humanities and social sciences and natural sciences with jargon use. There are a shitload of things no one ever talks about that need a name. Jargon in natural science
