Healthcheck and the Perl Future

Heise UK published a Perl Healthcheck article, IMHO a very well informed review of the state of Perl, one of the best that I read in recent months (or even years).

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

      Although it should be pointed out that these days Piers does a lot more Ruby than he does Perl...

      update: having reached the end of the article, I read that Piers is beginning to work with Perl again. If you've ever talked with him at a conference about Perl, you'll understand why I say: Yay!

      • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl

        From his bio: "Piers Cawley is a veteran Perl programmer with 10 years service who has spent the last couple of years in a lucrative dalliance with Ruby, but who is returning to the Perl fold for personal work. Between 2002 and 2005, he wrote regular summaries of activities in Perl 6 development for perl.com."

    Thanks. And thanks to the people I interviewed in the course of putting it together.

    I'm also getting redirected to heise.de.

    web.archive.org has snapshots of http://www.heise-online.co.uk/open/Healthcheck-Perl-The-Perl-Future--/features/112388/0 going back to 2016, all of which also do the same redirect. Is this supposed to be a recent article? Is it supposed to be accessible?

      Enjoy :-), and click pages 2 .. 4 from there
      is this supposed to be a recent article?

      jfc, you've been here 22 years and you don't know how to see the date (and time) on which a node was posted?

        You always look at the tiny little date if you arrive to a post through a recently made comment? ;-)

        It's a nice read though ... naively optimistic and funny.

        1984 was supposed to be a warning,
        not a manual!

        If you meant me as someone who's been here 22 years, then neither of us knows what you're talking about.

      It seems heise.co.uk is a thing of the past.
