Perlmonks offers all of everything you just requested. You just have to review decades worth of valuable posts within this site to put the pieces together.

Okay. I'll find it / figure it out. Thanks.

You want to put fellow Monk's posts next to an ad? Are you f***ing kidding me?

Okay. So, now you're putting words in my mouth and then ridiculing me for something I never said. What a nice way to start the new year, bro!

I'll ignore your other insults. In fact, if this site has a block feature, you'll be the first person I will block. Lol

Okay. So, this is one of the reasons why people might not want to program in perl, because they come to this website and see the toxic atmosphere that some people created. And they'll run away. On one hand, I see people trying to make Perl popular by diligently creating weekly challenges, holding conferences, Perlmonger groups, zoom meetings, YouTube videos, tutorials, some are writing books, news articles, publishing updates for modules and even coming out with newer perl interpreter versions, etc, but at the same time we have a boat that has holes on the bottom, where it's leaking water. What am I referring to? The customer service sucks.

If you think of everything related to Perl as one company, you walk into the main office, what are you going to see first? The receptionist or someone sitting at the door or information desk. If the company hires a horrible character to sit at that desk to talk to people who enter the door, people will think twice before they enter that building. You want to put someone there who is welcoming and nice and courteous, not someone who is gaslighting, criticizing your shoes and the color of your attire, the way you walk, the accent you use or the car you drive. Basically, just trying to find something wrong with you. And if they can't find something wrong, they'll say "sorry, we're closed today" when in fact, they're open. So, anyway, this is the unwelcoming atmosphere I feel here, and I'm telling you, you'll have to work on this. You are a liability to Perl.

Of course, one might argue that a certain technology such as C++ or Perl or HTML is not going to rise or fall just because some of the people who design that technology have a bad attitude. But if those same people happen to be the receptionist or the sales and marketing people, then it could have a big negative effect, believe me. And all of you (all of us) on this website interact with newcomers very often. Right? If they experience negativity or feel an unwelcoming atmosphere, they'll not want to come back. Perhaps, they'll leave perl altogether.
