| edef | i grew up writing Perl but it's been a decade or two since i've been primarily a Perl programmer | 17:22:16 |
| Shalok Shalom | I see | 17:22:30 |
| edef | it's not particularly hard to learn, and it's a nice language for a lot of things if you grasp it properly | 17:23:41 |
| Shalok Shalom | Yeah, I saw the existing Perl code and found it to be reasonable readable, but I heard community voices.. | 17:24:10 |
| Shalok Shalom | I care more about the established architecture, as the language itself | 17:24:25 |
| Shalok Shalom | And thought, it might take an experienced Perl hacker to circumvent that | 17:24:40 |
| edef | i wouldn't say that Hydra is one of the nicer Perl codebases i've seen | 17:24:41 |
| Shalok Shalom | eventually | 17:24:43 |
| edef | but you fight with the army you have, not the one you want | 17:24:54 |
