They're too busy getting paid writing Perl.
- abrookewood 11y agolol .. It's still pretty shocking. I know lots of programmers, including some that used to write lots of Perl, and none of them are still working on it. Those job numbers are crazy.
- hoodoof 11y agoCould it be that there's so many open Perl jobs because there are no programmers to fill them?
- Moto7451 11y agoThere are a still Perl shops out there. ZipRecruiter (where I work) and Booking.com are probably the biggest Perl shops in terms of Perl Dev headcount but I could be unaware of another company that's as big or bigger. There are a number of small to medium size companies in LA that are primarily Perl based and The Rubicon Project has a bit of Perl on the web side and C++ and Java for their ad network. Perl isn't dead, it's just not the hot new kid on the block by a long shot. As a point of perspective, there are still VB6 shops out there. That's way more "dead" than Perl or Python, but so long as the checks still clear...
- selimthegrim 11y agoI think Rentrak in Portland is still an all Perl shop
