    Perl 4 was bad, all the "not enterprisey" enough comments are about Perl 4 which also was used a lot in enterprises and caused unholy messes, some of which still echo after more than 20 years

    Yes, I had to maintain Perl 5 code hastily ported from Perl 4 around 2014, and it was ... educational.

    Perl 5 is more maintainable than Java, and a lot more maintainable than C++.

    Well done Mikko. I think the important thing here is having the nerve to admit a design/code combo is not working and to take the decision to replace it. IOW It's OK to fail, err, for a while.

  • Toby Inkster commented on Increasing Perl's Visibility

    As long as it resulted in unique-looking websites for projects rather than them all looking the same, I agree that a Dist::Zilla plugin would be a cool idea.

    Overall the aim is to have lots of small loosely-interconnected Perl websites, rather than everything just being on a few big websites. (Though those big sites should absolutely also still exist!)

    Interesting read. I enjoyed the line "And then it struct me!" right after the discussion of objects and object systems. :-)
