Perl is the one language I can say I -hate-. It is a crazy language, and I'm surprised nobody uses it anymore except when they are descending into the rats nest of company legacy code from 15-20 years ago (personal experience).https://twitter.com/fhuszar/status/1072784875709759488 …
WOW the one word I never thought of using to describe Perl was "intuitive"! Interesting background story there though.....

Perl unifies so many tools. No need to learn awk or sed etc. Perl 1-liners are amazing. I miss working in perl. And there's still nothing close to the scope of cpan

Did you ever have to derefence something though...?!? I could never keep it straight it in my head! You say Perl 1-liners are amazing and yes- I know you could do a lot in one line. But writing it and then reading it later are two different things....
