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.

    Absolutely bizarrely incorrect take on like everything you’ve stated as though it were fact. This is some classic reddit hole-digging and I’m loving it.

      You brought me to the middle of the road in an interesting discussion about oneliners and you shove me back to the start. Way to go, buddy.

      “Hurr durr u wrong u redditor!!”

      Instead of feeling offended, why don’t you continue the conversation? Give me some proof that the stuff I read os wrong. Give me some examples, I’m curious!

        I’m no offended. It’s just weird listening to someone make shut up about something they clearly have no experience with outside of memes, while talking like it’s complete fact. It’s a strange thing to do.

          At this point you’re making a lot of assumptions, and you haven’t address the main point. Keep going down that red herring. I did a bit of research, I thought my sources were legit. But oh no… instead of continuing a productive discussion, you had to go down the “u suck, meme boy.”

          I was curious about python, with my reserves, and you’re not really helping. I hope you’re not a troll; just a fanatic, which is almost as useless as a troll.

          I’ll give you one last chance. Otherwise, I’ll conclude that the python community on lemmy is not that welcoming.
