this was good and interesting. not earthshaking but nicely done.
in the sweep of history [as i know it], i view perl as a stepping stone
on the way to the best human computer programming interface we can
imagine. enough time has passed [and then passed again] for smart
programmers to look at perl, take what is good and make something new
that seems better.
the wheel keeps turning. perl is still unique in many ways. i think
[literary] artists and anarchists will always like it because TMTOWTDI.
and to the practical minded; it just works [still].
programming language popularity is based on many things. the days of
world domination are ancient history; but in so far as i can see the
future [i can't], there will always be someone with a programming
problem that will turn to perl for the answer.
thank you larry.
