Perl was ahead of its time, and likely because of it's Borg-like capacity to absorb a little bit of everything... it was unfortunately nigh on impossible to refactor. This is why Perl6 (nee Raku) took nearly 2 decades to be "done&

AI is kerosene. A useful resource when applied with reason and compassion. Late stage capitalism is a dumpster full of garbage. AI in combination with late stage capitalism is a dumpster fire. Many, perhaps most people conflate the dumpster
