I always find it interesting when people assume that just because something is out of their awareness is dead…<p>I learned Perl not too long ago and it is an absolute beast at text processing, a lot less annoying than Python and pip install and cpan seems to have everything in it, implemented multiple times.<p>The language doesn’t hold your hand at all, doesn’t have tooling like fancy LSP and such, but it is quite usable. With that said, I’d probably hate to use it in a team since you can do the same thing in a dozen different ways!
For context for our younger audience members: Perl was the Python of its day back a little over 20 years ago. It was, at one time, hugely popular.<p>Perl is still hidden in dark corners all over Linux distributions and even macOS (which is why it still ships with Perl, but not Python).
iOS dev with a background in hardware (where I used Perl daily to parse millions of lines of test data). Funny, just used perl the other day to parse an iOS repo for deeplink path handlers. Love it.

After many years, my head is still exploding from the hundreds of articles trying to pump the next version of perl.<p>What a disgrace.<p>Are there like 3 version of perl being developed?
