Now I know the only place that Allman style indentation looks good is on a wall.

For those who want the comparison, CPAN is Perl's npm or PyPI and is having to deal with the same issues of security and verification. Hope they get it right.

That recent?!? Most criticism of Perl comes from people listening to second-hand rants of someone who hasn't looked at Perl since 2001. Yes, the article could be improved by the Ma…

I tried to remember the study that put the usefulness of a CEO at 10% of the success of the company and found this Science Direct paper from 2023 on "The CEO effect and performance…

Pfft. Spelling differences is minor league stuff. Try code-switching on silence. Pointed out to me by a Kiwi, that Americans take silence after a statement to mean general agreemen…

I remember the "Aha" moment on the face of a python-flavoured data scientist when I showed her my Perl scripts for managing LDAP groups. One look at the class files (written in Moo…

I suppose it's because very soon people got tired of writing $a->[2]->{"bar"} which is equivalent and also works, but suffers from the explosion of punctuation that Perl often gets…

I quite enjoyed Perl Best Practices[0] for the rationales behind every decision, most of which I could get on board with. Plus, if you really like it you can auto-reformat code wit…

At Las Campanas, most of the staff from the cooks to the techs and a number of the researchers were all local. I found quite a bit of interest in the country as a whole as it's a s…

Nothing stopping anyone from using Inline::Perl or NativeCall [0]. I'd like to see Raku's concurrency model working on these data structures. Otherwise there's always PDL::Parallel…

For me, it's the acceleration of development in the last 5 years as seen in the Changes file. It's now releasing new versions almost every month. https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdl/…

What could be described as Numpy for Perl, PDL was released in 1996 and is now seeing a resurgence of interest. The Advent Calendar showcases some of its features in a festive mood…

Ah, now the Natural Born Heroes heroism and the virtue of Xenia (ξενία) I can get behind. It's the ego-inflating ""heroes" in scare quotes" that crave validation that I find so exa…
