hi, i was interested if perl is still relevant in this day and age. Perl has been on the decline for a very long time now. Perl 6 (now named 'raku) not being backwards compatible with perl 5 code made the already small perl community even smaller by splitting it in half. A good example is lisp with it’s thousands of different dialects.
Is it still worth using or is it bound to legacy software forever? Like cobol.
Its* thousands of different dialects.
It’s “its”, not “it’s”, unless you mean “it is”, in which case it is “it’s “.
Back in the days when we actually used usenet for discussion, there was a newsgroup called alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe. Ah the olde internet.
