nope

I think perl is still used in bioinfomatics.

Perl is comfy. I don't know why people went for PHP over perl.

>>51959334
I tried programming in perl once and couldn't achieve anything. Who ever though using a precious "store" as a programming interface would be possible?
Fucking idiots.

Whenever I can and it makes sense

I remember when Perl was king. There was even PerlScript for the browser.

I use Perl for about 60% of my programming needs.
Great for text processing and scripting.

>>51959334
hell yeah, lots of scripting for data/text manipulation

>>51959334
I used to but then I moved over to python.

Yes. It has some nice web frameworks. I know several huge projects here in Russia are using it. There are regular conferences.

I watched some perl6 tutorial videos and liked it.

Perl is a dangerous mess. If you want to do scripting without pulling any external dependencies its a good option cause its present on literally any unix by default, but thats about it.

I was thinking about learning it.

I use perl all the time, mostly because I can't be bothered to jump onto the hip and trendy sjw programming languages bandwagon.

this. perl has been around for ages and still does a fine job, you can write some awful perl code though. but there is still very good commercial support and usage of perl. all these new meme languages like rust and go are going to help push out the shit languages such as PHP and eventually a select few will become the standard for certain industry's(my bet is go being the new php but less shit, rust never gaining momentum because its identical to sepples).

>regex: the language
It has its uses.

But python is easier to one line and there's a long list of languages more performant.
