Perl has been undervalued and I'm looking forward to seeing a list of articles like this one day.
One reason is excessive and misleading advertising.
In Japan, For example.
Media post Python is loved and Perl is hated on the top of power.
On the other hand, I'm Perl contributor. They have never come to ask me in the last decade.
Thanks Manpreet for posting this. These are great articles that I did not even know about. If I had seen them I would have clicked on each one of them to read more. With this post you are giving them more visibility.
Thanks for your appreciation Brandonπ
Too many sigils.
I wonder if general people(not you) speak lookism at first impression.
Perl is actually a very well-balanced programming language.
They actually do. I mean, lots of people would say βPARENS!β when asked about Lisp.
Donβt get me wrong, Perl is great, and I work with it every day. But it has some serious inherent and momentum problems.

Would you stop saying "serious inherent and momentum"?.
If that is not fact, the words do harm Perl.
I think what we need is not be anxious and be brave.
Thank you for your comment.
Would you stop saying "serious inherent and momentum problems".
If it is not fact, the words themself do harm Perl.
What we need is that "Don't be afraid and be brave".
It seems you're talking about some Perl crusade. I'm not afraid, thank you, but frankly, I don't really care what happens with Perl (and I'm talking about Perl 5/7). I'm sorry that you hear it as a Perl contributor.
Come on, first - words can't harm Perl. "There are two types of programming languages, ones that no one uses and ones people complain about" - that's B. Stroustrup. Second, if you're saying "stop saying it has problems", if you deny it, you can never think of those objectively and critically, which is imperative for improvement. Third, PHP did a lot more harm to Perl, in terms of popularity, than any words.
OK, if you want it, these aren't facts, these are my opinions. It just happens that a lot of people share those.
thank you.
I also like the constructive criticism of Perl.
On the other hand, there are so many terrible words that I am sensitive.
Nice concept! π
Thanks, Sebastianπ
Nice share π
Thanks, Monikaβ¨
Also, this is itself a joke because cache invalidation hinges on naming things :-)
π
This is a really nice list, especially the article about variables is a must read ππ
Thanks for sharing βπ―
Glad you liked it π
