   VS Code is fine for creating HTML but a pain in the ass for editing existing tag pairs.

   No mention of Emmet for avoiding writing HTML by hand.

   Only The Damian. How I miss Perl culture now that I have to use other languages.

   Jeffrey Friedl's "Mastering Regular Expressions" was my gateway into Perl and server-side programming so you'll excuse me if I don't buy(!) one of your licences. Regular expressions used intelligently are amazing.

    Still, 4-5 times is absurd. I've used both Java and Kotlin within IntelliJ and the compilation speed difference is marginal.

    JS and Python have gradual, not static typing. Same for PHP 8 but Hack is a different language.

    4-5 times slower? That estimate is indeed rough. For some workloads Kotlin's function inlining creates more efficient bytecode than Java.

    Spring Boot has full Kotlin support.

    10 seconds to fix a typo? Install the IDEAVim plugin then it's simply :<line number> , w w w ..., cw. Or there's /<search term>, n n n ..., cw.

    Their implementation of closures is ass-backwards. Just a bare pair of braces with no arrow to disambiguate from block parens. Kotlin also added to Java's verbosity with extra modifiers like 'internal', 'open' and &

    JS and Python are not statically typed, or PHP for that matter, but it hasn't stopped JS and Python topping the popularity list year on year nor did PHP stop Facebook from world domination.

    Clojure to the rescue ... again. Honestly, I can't fathom why Clojure isn't up there with the most popular languages. Paul Graham was right when he described it, well Lisp, as a secret weapon.

    Yes. Any language which requires an IDE to append get, set and toString for every damned variable is a language in trouble. Here we are at Java 21 and Java must be the only language in modern use which requires regex metacharacters to be es

    Can you elaborate on your last point? I've never had a problem scripting with Ruby.

    For 1-liners there are only 2 real non-shell contenders - Perl and Ruby. Yes you can do them with Python but it ain't pretty.

    Are you sure it wasn't the Meta Object Protocol (MOP) rather than Moose? "A MOP for Perl" inspired endless debate but never amounted to much. In the end I think the Perl 5 community felt it was best left to Perl 6 but I could

    Is Jonathan Worthington still active within the project? He was the original force behing optimisation if I remember.

    The "Perl6/Raku is nothing like Perl 5" hype has been hugely overstated. It wasn't called Perl 6 for nothing and it was developed by the same Perl team more or less. For anyone who worked with Perl 5 significantly the le

    There were so many claims in the first couple of years after Perl6/Raku's initial release in December 2015 about how it had the potential to be optimised due to its superior design but here we are nearly 8 years later and it'

    It's called late binding and some Pythonistas actually consider it a feature.
