What you forgot to mention was that you also banned me from replying for an extended period effectively silencing my voice. I’ll let the readers decide where that kind of behavior lies politically.
For Perl you are forgetting the HUGE amount of code that just works 10-15 years later. I love Perl for many reasons but here is where most other languages gets killed.
You know, Perl being treated as it’s being treated warrants my comment. It still rules for certain tasks and sadly Python is the enemy there, where Python is the worse choice.
Millions per MONTH is just ridiculous. Stay with what works, revisiting this slow Python tool will be a cost and time sink. A mistake companies let engineers with millennial complex do all too often.
Not a replacement for Perl no. It was a great sales trick but as we know a sales trick is not about the truth. But thankfully all the crappy code gets written in Python or JS these days.
