   A transition (to ruby) that adds no value in this age... Incomprehensible.

   Python is dying. Better buy a Golang book.

   Maybe get it into (perldoc?) perl.org if possible?

   Metacpan is great, why continue with a double effort that needs a rewrite. It has served the community well for many years.

   For learning I would highly recommend the following books: Beginning Perl by Ovid. Modern Perl by chromatic. There are a lot of other good Perl books but some of them are getting old and it is better to already know a bit before re

   I use Go for what I previously maybe used C for. Thanks to the quick compile time and good tooling Go almost feels like a scripting language when developing but especially for UNIXy stuff it can't replace Perl for me.

   Perl has decades worth of high quality libraries to do heavy lifting. https://metacpan.org You can get away with easy scripting for creating significant programs. UNIX commandline and Perl is a match made in heaven. Using Golang

    Took me a couple of days to grasp Mojolicious as a Perl programmer. Really well thought out framework. 2 months sounds insane. I guess you did not click with Perl?

    Consistency is king. Often when I glance over code to understand what it is doing I don't really care about values. When scanning from left to right it is easier when the left side contains the variable names. Also I just find it unnat

    Yoda makes code more confusing to read at a glance so I would recommend against it.

    So it was less than 100 lines of actual needed Perl code in that script? ;)

    Python can feel sluggish due to slower startup time so I would skip that and use either Perl or Go. Definitely Perl for UNIXy stuff.

    Good read. Perl + Go seems like a great combo. I've had some similar experiences when trying to learn Go, for non performance unixy stuff Perl just rocks.
