All of modern geology stands upon her work.

It's still considered an experimental feature, just as it was in 5.38.x. Also the linked documents aren't 100% reflective of what's been implemented so far, a better URL would prob…

I've been surprised. I have a coworker who has a deep industry knowledge but none of it was in Perl, he was reaching for ChatGPT a lot early on and while sometimes it wasn't how I …

I mean at a minimum #moose on irc.perl.org … Which mst was a huge reason why irc.perl.org is still around.

I've been an engineering manager, I'm not sure that argument is as strong as you want it to be.

I'm not going to dispute the data, but I don't think it means what you're saying it does. Honestly, I think you've made the same mistake that most people make in this conversation …

Kinda more like War Games. Ender was more hacked _by_ the Formics in what he assumed was a game … not that it did them any good.

Knowing both of them, I pretty much guarantee you it is.

Wonder if you can connect with IRCCloud?

I actually find Go harder to work with JSON with for exactly those same reasons. With Go if I want to parse JSON into something I can call methods on, the JSON has to conform to so…

CPAN was (at best) the second because it was based on CTAN, the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTAN Also mod_php was more akin to FastCGI with the…

Rowling's statement wasn't even explicitly true before the rise of transgender visibility. It excludes women who don't conform. I've lived with pre-menopausal women who didn't mens…

That's not exactly fair to Raku. A more fair critique (and keeping with the theme of this thread) is that Raku is less focused on integrating with the Unix command line than it is …

It may be 9 miles but at the wrong time of day (e.g. when the sun is out) it could take you hours. I hate driving in LA.

Most of it's developers and advocates have moved on to other more popular languages is arguably true (in addition to JS/TS I see a lot of Perl devs moving to Go). I know I personal…

Not exactly true. The current lead maintainer for Perl 5 is in his mid 30s at a guess, a large chunk of us are between that and our early 50s. This puts most of us around a decade …

While it's true in human language that idiomatic expressions are a barrier to learners, they are also a means of enhancing communication between experienced users of the language. …

> Yet you have to know both versions of them all, and be able to recognize and understand both kinds when reading other people's code. You have to be able to understand that if it'…

So I wanted backspace too, but thinking about it, even within the same sentence it would damage the purpose of freewriting which is to stop editing and get words flowing out of you…

There isn't one way to do it in Perl (EUMM, Module::Build, Module::Build::Tiny, Module::Install etc), we just tried to make sure that they all interoperated cleanly. And we have th…

I know for a fact that up until around 2006 the official US Treasury curve for one of the big financial reporting firms was created/maintained on an Excel spreadsheet that was one …

If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand. /s

In addition to the other comments made here ... Task::Catalyst is right there after Plack and before Template (TT2). Rather than try to guess at the proper set of modules recommend…

It wasn’t always. Kind words were said and `!cpan` was switched early on.

To be fair this was just a search engine for the package archive. The archive, it’s several clients, and alternative search engine, are still doing fine.
