Took me a while to figure out what this “Perl” was, so if you’re like me, I’m gonna save you some time: “Perl” seems to be the old name of the popular Raku language.
I wrote in Perl, Python, and Julia this month (yeah, 1st day). Probably will have some C++ and R as well later. We'll see.
It's lightning fast, it's mature, every problem is solved, it still works great out of the box, and compatible with just about every web server out there.
By "mature" I mean that any question I google there is real content, and not just StackOverflow. Real web-based knowledgebases which also happen to be lightweight HTML, without JS required, and with real solutions to the problem.
It helps that I try to build and maintain two versions of the same codebase, so I tend to write in a language which is the lowest common denominator of PHP and Perl.
I'm at a modest 14K lines now, and still find that I can find what I'm looking for with just a global text search...
