hi, i was interested if perl is still relevant in this day and age. Perl has been on the decline for a very long time now. Perl 6 (now named 'raku) not being backwards compatible with perl 5 code made the already small perl community even smaller by splitting it in half. A good example is lisp with it’s thousands of different dialects.
Is it still worth using or is it bound to legacy software forever? Like cobol.
Do you work for booking.com? Only place I’ve seen that advertises the fact they run on a perl codebase
Nope. But I know a bunch of people that do or have, and have interviewed several (it’s a pretty small sector!)
