  • Same. I’m sure python, rust, and all the others are better/cooler/vegan/whatever but perl is what I’m fluent in. More than once have I started to hack together something in python, only to scrap it and start over in perl because I can get it done so much faster. Trust me, my hourly cronjob doesn’t care that it takes half a second more to run. And the UPS doesn’t care that it takes 1mW more to run it. But I care a lot about not dicking around with documentation just to figure out what is pythonic and what isn’t when a shitty perl oneliner will do just fine.
