Perl is not trendy. Companies, even those that use it extensively never communicate about it and there are no publicly visible ads on job boards. Doesn’t mean that there’s not code to maintain and projects building up. Personally I never ha

It’s not a kingdom, but a monestary, and that’s exactly what the WikiPedia article explained. https://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=3559

Google index is tailored for each individual. Persons with interest in breeding cats won’t be served Perl results. If Google index becomes a criterion of notability, we are in a deep deep shit.

Some of the deleted pages never had the « sources missing » tag set for a significative time. It has been straight to deletion point. Some pages that survived the deletion (e.g. TPRF) had the « missing sources » tag set since 15 years… What

I makes very hard to re-start a new article. Why start from scratch when we could re-use and improve the old article? This is discouraging. I am moderately tech-savvy and had a WikiPedia account for years. But going into the deletion-review

This « rule » is infuriating. Google searches are tailored to serve us content that might interest us. In this case, Google search first page returns plenty of notable results for me. Might not be the case for a person interested in geology

What about maintaining the codebases that got written 25 years ago? Those still exist and needs care to stay operational. Sometimes there’s no point rewriting to the next trendy language, although it can be obligatory, if it’s impossible fo

I am one of the person who did the « heavy lifting » on this logo. One of the versions I contributed were actually inspired by the Clojure logo, so, I guess you are both right. In this discarded version[1], the camel hump is used to create

Inefficient for what? Are Perl regexps inefficient? No, they are the best. Isn't Python's Django efficient at producing full web applications in no-time with decent performances and that can be maintainable? Maybe you are speaking

Don't believe the hype. Rust and Go are nice, but 95% of the time you don't need those. Especially when I read about the fact that it is "developed by Google for their own needs", I mean, you surely not work for Google.

You basically need almost no maths knowledge to learn programming. This is the first thing the person that trained me told us. Especially for fields like web development and stuff. Sure, if you need to send rockets to mars, it's not th
