femanon here. quick question: for basic automation/scripting, should i use python or perl? it seems like python does everything perl does, and more?
>>57018554
Check your PMs babe ;)
>>57018554
always nice to see other femanons!
i think you've already made your decision?
how do i find PMs here? do i need a pass for that?
>>57018554
Definitely Python! I sent you an email. We should girl-code together XD
>>57018554
use python
>>57018586
don't fall for a troll. also very much not advised to give any contact details "m'lady"
>>57018554
Use python.
Perl is for crusty old sysadmins and unix wizards.
inb4 the perl 6 meme
>>57018586
Just post your public email babe ;)
>>57018554

How does one do this?
so if everyone says to use python, why does anyone use perl at all? just for legacy stuff?
Why does it matter that your female? Fucking attention where's everywhere

this board is a boy's club, it can be very oppressive. us girls gotta stick together!
>>57019165
lua is an option?
Perl is the Visual Basic of the Unix World: easy to get started, easy to run unmaintainable shitmesses.
Use Python.

>>57019453
not reading all that, can you summarize it in 150 words or less?
>>57019459
*150 characters, sorry, blonde moment xD
Python is gr8 for what you're looking into doing
Not the top notch option if you're looking into peak performances on an embedded system, but the syntax is easy enough and it does the job

Because perls regex is god tier and dramatically outpeforms python when it comes to string manipulation. Python is better at numerics though, so it depends on the use case. I use F# for scripting because pattern matching, recursion and muh code safety.
Pythons motto is "there's one way and one way only".
Perls motto is "make the easy things easy and the hard things possible".
F# motto is "FREESTYLE BITCHES".

(Time stamped) Tits or GTFO, because 4chan.
Better idea - leave gender out of question.

Pretty sure that doesn't apply in a work for safe board.
No one here likes 3DPD, go to /b/ for that.

Do you like long flexible things? If so, Python.
