- lallysingh 7y agoGood point. There's probably good money in the "host all the stuff that's old and scary" business.
- Coffeewine 7y agoMy org is still writing new code in perl5. The degree to which it's unappealing is, in my opinion, greatly overstated.
- greglindahl 7y agoMost folks who like complaining about perl5 are doing so because they've worked with some terrible old codebase written in it. Terrible code is terrible code. But well-written perl5 code can be fun to work with.
