yes, perl5 is too heavy on structure and magic symbols, but I am pretty sure in the long term .... noooop...
perl5 won't have a nice future, only feeding CPAN will spare it longer ..it has not a good "objects" hineritance way of coding and debugging...$!
I think long lasting interrests (since the 80ies, the 16 bit processor) are on reaching 4rth generation languages by training algos to bridge together those 3rd generations languages, one not better than the others!
this is why I am looking to understand this perl+Qt5 stuff, based on "smoke" by
chrisburel...
