note talexb <p>Yeah, this assumes that Perl has *lost* some excitement, or that it's *boring* to work with -- and I don't buy that.</p> <p>Perl continues to be a great, great tool that I use regularly. I probably can't say that it's exciting to use, but it's definitely not boring.</p> <p>And I don't really care if some MBA thinks Perl is old technology -- this old technology just works, thank you. And aren't spreadsheets old technology? ;) Perl gets the job, efficiently, cleanly, and it's not failing -- it's going to be around for quite a while.</p> <p>And using Perl 6 as a red herring is getting really, really old. Can we get over it?</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-131279"> <p>Alex / [talexb] / Toronto</p> <p><small>"<a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds</small></p> </div></div> 676072 676072
