What’s your favorite programming language and what about it do you like?

You’ll be damned if you ever need to know what exactly you made it do 20 years ago though as Perl is a write-only language ;p

LOL that’s so true.

That’s the joke, but it’s really not true.

You can write unintelligable code in most languages.

Perl’s syntax is fine, and you can write beautiful code with it - but it will also let you write fugly code that works.

I think those who say this seriously just don’t understand Perl, or even programming generally. (Whilst I like Perl, I’m also proficient in C, Java, JS, Python, PHP, Bash and probably a few more, so I’m not just promoting the only thing I know.)

That’s a poor developer problem, not a perl problem.
