do people still use perl?

I thought python and powershell completely overtook it

Rust is somehow worse.

>>59483241

I'm fighting with a client who insists that his perl script is the solution.

What's the problem? Doesn't matter. His perl script is not the solution.

>>59483241
Give me perl over python or powershell anyday lol.

>>59483241
we still use it regularly at my workplace

>>59483241
Perl is love, perl is life

Why it's not the solution?

>>59483873
because it's old! if you don't rewrite everything every 6 months with the newest, freshest frameworks, then your code is poop! lol!

>>59483499

You can't read it can you?

>>59483873
> Why it's not the solution?
Because this anon/pythonista probably thinks that everything should be written in python since he does not know any other language.
Probably still hasn't switched to Python 3 out of laziness.

Perl is a better choice most of the time if we talk about the realms in which Perl is most prominent.

>Powershell
wow now you're not being serious

What are those realms?

Powershell is easy to use and is extremely powerful. Why the hate?

Unreasonably long start up times, even on high-end hardware.
It's the only reason I'm still using cmd over powershell as my main shell.

>>59483201
3.4 made me think to drop python. Perl is still needed for legacy code.

>>59484618
>easy to use
Most scripting languages are easy if you're willing to take the time to learn their particular syntax. Powershell is proprietary and Windows-only. Not even worth learning in 2017.

>Powershell is proprietary and Windows-only
Powershell has been open source and available on Linux for almost a year

And even if it was Windows only, every enterprise runs Windows to some extent to it's not like you'd be silo'ing yourself out of a job by learning it.

You could say that about literally anything. Doesn't make it worthwhile.

Powershell on linux is not very useful today, and the biggest Linux vendor (Google) doesn't include it in their distros.

Why would I want a lobotomised version of bash when csh already exists?

>>59484657
Turns out a shell written in a to-go compiled, reasonably optimizing language isn't the best idea...
