@vbabka @ljs no, perl code just wasn't meant to be read by somebody else than it's author, at a file creation time.

@vbabka @ljs Python actually makes sense for a lot of stuff. It is BASIC of this century... Perl is ... more of shell.

Reply to @pavel
@pavel @vbabka Yup I get that it's used for a ton of things, I just think it's some really awful flaws.

Dynamic typing, a variety of different stupid footguns (esp. around scope), a terrible mess of a packaging system, slow as hell, significant whitespace ofc, etc.

I understand there's efforts to address some of these things but I also think people ignore the blatant flaws.

I can only really go from my own personal experience which is that I've had to use it now and again and have hit various irritating issues.

@ljs @a1ba @vbabka writing Perl is easy, you just redirect /dev/urandom into a file and lightly edit until it runs. ;)
