I feel kind of bad for Perl. I never learned it. I'm no foreigner to "hard" languages. I know Bash, I know Makefiles, I can write a "sed" script with a little effort. Of course I know Python and C and I even put in the effort to learn Rust. But Perl never bubbled up the priority list. We used it a little bit for internal scripts at my previous job, but I rarely had to interact with those, so I never took the time to actually learn it. I'm certain there's a good language in there, but it's so rarely used during my time in the industry (I'm in my mid-30s), that it's just never been worth the effort. I'm sorry, Perl.
