> Just because it took longer to learn, that doesn't mean it's better or worse at creating good code. It does mean that armchair pundits are less likely to be correct in their hot takes. They lack experience and understanding Ah yes the same snobbery and inability to take criticism that's been the standard since the 90s. And people wonder why Perl is dying (so is Emacs, Vim only survived because a significant part of the community decided to break away, refactor create a community that's more engaing and less snobbish). You forget what Perl was made for. Basically a replacement for awk/sed and so on and writing quick scripts that can be used elsewhere. If a newbie want to invest significant time and effort learning a new language why the hell they will spend it on Perl rather than a real language like C/C++ and in more modern times Rust, Go or Swift that actually creates performant code? |
