in reply to Re^4: Is it still worth learning Perl as a first language?
in thread Is it still worth learning Perl as a first language?
"Efficiency is a very relative term. Efficient compared to what? Runtime? Compiling? Deploying? Developing?"
Fair enough. Let me try to better articulate my intent, regarding that statment.
I meant with regard to actual deployment. As one simple example; I wouldn't use Perl to write something best suited for Client side JavaScript. Would you? ;-)
But as you later stated; it really is fantastic for prototyping, and can indeed solve most real-world problems -- makes for a good problem solver; as I originally mentioned. ;-)
Ahem... Didn't I pretty much say just that, in my reply? ;-)
Evil is good, for without it, Good would have no value
