@siracusa@mastodon.social Yeah, but Perl _felt_ old on day one.
Like the arcane glyphs of a forgotten language that would one day summon the eldritch god that would end the earth while someone was trying to build a sudoku script.

@soviut@hachyderm.io @siracusa@mastodon.social Agree. the first time I worked through "Learning Perl" (O'Reilly, of course) I felt like an initiate being taught the meaning of the scrolls written by the elders...this was 25 years ago, mind you. The next tomb on perl felt like working through Silmarillion by J.K.Tolkien.
