Perl still relevant in 2023/24? (lemmy.ml)

hi, i was interested if perl is still relevant in this day and age. Perl has been on the decline for a very long time now. Perl 6 (now named 'raku) not being backwards compatible with perl 5 code made the already small perl community even smaller by splitting it in half. A good example is lisp with it's thousands of different dialects.

Is it still worth using or is it bound to legacy software forever? Like cobol.

At this point you're making a lot of assumptions, and you haven't address the main point. Keep going down that red herring. I did a bit of research, I thought my sources were legit. But oh no... instead of continuing a productive discussion, you had to go down the "u suck, meme boy."

I was curious about python, with my reserves, and you're not really helping. I hope you're not a troll; just a fanatic, which is almost as useless as a troll.

I'll give you one last chance. Otherwise, I'll conclude that the python community on lemmy is not that welcoming.
