I have written many thousands of lines of Perl. It is great for text processing type stuff but I don't want to deal with the boilerplate associated with marshaling errors through a deep stack of functions and stuff just failing with "undefined" blah and "die" everywhere. I resorted to Try::Tiny as a poor man's exception handling setup - either give me proper exceptions or give me pattern matching (Rust's Option/Result combined with ? operator is great in this regard). Also, TIMTOWDI starts to suck in a team where everyone thinks they can be clever about their style (simpler languages like Golang, which I don't really love, tackle this better). Especially when you have an entire application in the range of 100KLOC written in Perl. My next project after that was in Java, which in all seriousness, felt amazing. Just like Perl felt when I discovered it after having to write tons of shell scripts. |
