Besides that being very outdated view of our tech stack, given that we have used Rust for every new development for seven years already and migrated lots of Perl code to it - what's actually wrong with using Perl?
Is all Perl, Python, etc., generically just categorally unusable for someone? Or is the fact that Perl - just like Python and many other languages - packs a lot of built-in features while being easy to modify and interpretable so it can also be used for scripting purposes seriously counted as a "strike against it"? Genuinely curious where these - for me completely unrelatable - opinions stem from.
