Perl 5 had a certain niche. That niche has been filled by other languages (mostly backend JS these days). C lives off its niche as being the lingua franca for programming low level interfaces. Java lives in its corporate niche and C++ mostly in game programming and large desktop applications. Perl 5 has become an orphan. It’s a programming language nobody needs any more and, hence, shares the fate of many other obsolete languages that may be cool but are unpopular. |
