hi, i was interested if perl is still relevant in this day and age. Perl has been on the decline for a very long time now. Perl 6 (now named 'raku) not being backwards compatible with perl 5 code made the already small perl community even smaller by splitting it in half. A good example is lisp with it’s thousands of different dialects.
Is it still worth using or is it bound to legacy software forever? Like cobol.
If I move code in non-python code, I cut a whole paragraph, paste, and I’m done if that’s all I wanted to do.
Your code won’t be indented properly, same problem as Python unless you have a formatting tool in your setup.
It won’t matter. It will still compile correctly every time, as opposed to python, and that’s my point. Choice. Choice is the key here.
