Perl5 is the best bad language. I still use it for little scripts and glue and it’s good

I can’t believe Apple is planning to remove perl from macos, thereby ruining its status as “scripting tool that’s better than sh+sed/awk and always predictably there on every unixy platform”

Much as I have a soft spot for Perl, I can’t imagine wanting a job working with it today. You’d either be stuck in hell maintaining the old Perl code so bad nobody dares port it, or you’d be working with the kind of person who thinks it’s a good idea to start major new projects in old unpopular languages, and neither of those sounds fun

I wrote a 900-character Perl one-liner the other day and it worked on about the 30th attempt, life’s good
