it feels a bit weird to use at first, but some aspects are similar enough to C/PHP that it isn't too hard to get into. like riding a camel

for whatever reason, perl has genuinely never clicked with me
eventually I learned python and then bash, but never got into working with perl

I'm a n00b when it comes to programming, so PHP and Perl seem mostly the same to me except for them needing different symbols to comment sweat2

My very cool logic professor used his last lecture with us as an advert for perl. I should learn it some day.

I remember one time I made a textboard that could be used from the terminal using go and php

I want to learn perl but it seems really massive and lots of things it does are just replacements for standard unix tools.
I can't really justify it when I haven't had any problems with the approach of posix shell/awk/python scripting and when it becomes too complex/slow I do a C program.
The most attractive for me to learn perl is the versatility + stability that it has, unlike languages like python that break programs constantly for the sake of change and being more 'pythonic'.
I have also read some things about raku (perl 6) and while it has some interesting things like grammar parsing, it seems to be unstable and not commonly installed like perl5.
If anyone here has used perl extensively, I would like for them to share their expierience and if they recommend it biggrin
