As a 53-year-old Perl developer (my CPAN handle is MICHAEL, I'm that old), I freakin love Vue.

I haven't done paid work with Perl since the 90's. Now I'm glad I haven't. I use it for my private work because it does what I want it to do, but on the few occasions I've coded for pay since leaving the industry, I've used Python.

I did object oriented programming in Perl from 96 to 2010. We used Perl to create scalable and maintainable enterprise applications. Perl was a pleasure to code in. It is unfortunate the whole Perl6 effort ended up killing Perl. Although I have moved on to other languages, I still haven’t found an enjoyable language as Perl.

Perhaps then, now is the time to have a look at the Raku Programming Language. It is said to be optimized for fun (as in -Ofun). https://raku.org
