I pick PDL up for tasks occasionally, but not often enough to maintain fluency with it. It's one of those catch-22 situations where PDL would be a really handy tool to have in the toolbox, but <fluency> * <need to use> never quite peeks over the <is more productive with> threshold. Just a little more <need to use> would increase <fluency> enough to make the difference, but I find too many other things to occupy my time so don't go out of my way enough to find excuses to use it.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
