@Perl Here’s a BRILLIANT cheatsheet by @shiar of significant changes to the #Perl #programming language, from 2000's version 5.6 to 2023's version 5.38: https://sheet.shiar.nl/perl
Apart from being a valuable reference, it's a compact argument against the belief that Perl has stagnated.
And yet your old Perl code still runs on today's versions. Don't be surprised. We value your time and ours.
@mjgardner @Perl @shiar Honestly, I think the thing that works against #Perl and #Raku the most is that they don't work natively in the browser or on mobile.
I love both languages and want to see them prosper.
@mjgardner @Perl @shiar This is brilliant though and well formatted too.
@mjgardner @Perl @shiar I am not a big fan of the language itself, but I deeply respect and admire the API stability and long-term vision. That is rare these days, and should be applauded.
