@33MHz I enjoyed _learning_ Perl (back in the day), but I suspect I would have liked _doing actual work with it_ somewhat less.

@muncman I enjoyed working with it when I did. But mostly because at the time a lot of regex work as involved and perl is amazing at that. @33MHz

@igmp_join True; it’s kind of the gold standard for that.

@muncman @33MHz Perl was the first programming language I learned (also back in The Day), pretty sure it was a big reason I was able to move from a support role to a sysadmin one.

@33MHz Perl is older, though still valid. But now Python,C#, and PowerShell are stealing it's thunder from what I can gather.

@cambridgeport90 Also Ruby, which heavily inspired by Perl and compatible in many ways. @33MHz
