Same thing with tarot. These are real markets and will bloom proportionally with depression and lack of education. So when you see $22.8 billion market increase, you now know what you are actually looking at.
On the other hand, these are just 2 games, really. Think gaming industry has to produce a miriad of games to hit $300 billion. It's just they don't sell you hope, just some cheap entertainment to evade from a crappy life.
Show me 2 games worth $12 billion market share.
p.s. and co-star really took it to the next level. beautiful design, extremely well built weekly readings, and i think their backend is coded in haskell :-) Ofcourse i'll buy some hope to get me through to the end of the week.
Not true anymore. FreeBSD dropped it from base.
>With a great amount of discipline, Perl scripts can be successfully scaled up into large, complex systems.
History shows different. Perl was never designed for this.
>I can be confident that a Perl script I write today will run unaltered 10 years from now, modulo external collaborators.
I concur. I also have 10-ish lines perl scripts running on my systems since 10-ish years, doing exactly what it was written to do. And if the data protocol changes I will just drop 10-ish lines of code and write new 10-ish lines of weird looking, compact and efficient code. I never care understanding my code. If i ever read it again it's just to have a "wow, what does this even do" moment at my own code. For me, write-only is a feature.
>Perl can be used nearly as a shell replacement for very quick scripting.
Yet there is no generally available shell (like Bash or zsh) written in Perl. This is a weird thing I'm still trying to cope with in 2023. It may be because the term "shell replacement" is used wrong. Did you mean "shell programming"?
>Perl has a small set of core syntax and is very extensible and flexible in adopting new paradigms.
... I don't know. 27 years later, I still like to flex my reptilian brain reading perlsyn manpage. I like to think of perl syntax as a set of loose rules which you can bend to your liking. And the things you can come out with... oh, boy.
Perl is good tool for coming up with a solution really quick. And most of the times, you will just keep running that code for ten-ish years to come. Also, Perl is more of a philosophy than a programming language, like Forth is.
Its biggest disadvantage was the community itself. They just kept using it wrong, over and over, trying to serve the greed of a corporate world. The proof of this is Perl 6, the community rewrite of Perl. Looks cool. Won't use it. I think that's why it's now mostly referred to as "raku" instead of "Perl 6". It's not a Perl.
i feel offended A LOT on internet these days.

I feel offended by this message. I don't know why, i shouldn't care. I just click every article that makes it to nyc top

The tempting clusters were too high to gain;
Grieved in his heart he forced a careless smile,
And cried, ‘They’re sharp and hardly worth my while.
