TT2 should not be recommended without caveats either and it’s always had detractors for being a mini-language instead of a pure template engine. Even so, exactly like CGI, I adore and use it. I’ll repeat, it’s the awful, combative superior tone mixed with dead-end chops that got my dog in the fight, not the fact that CGI is useful.

Recommending the steam engine over the internal combustion engine is what you’re defending. Claiming web technology was somehow better 25 years ago… The whole planned obsolescence thing … it reeks of paranoia. Ageism… Good lord… The perception of enemies and pejoratives and conspiracies where none exists… no es correcto, ése.

Seeker: What can I do to advance my Perl career and be a Perl expert?

Monks: Well, CGI is fine, but really you ought to try–

You: No! Those crusty fools have been bought by Big Web. Learn things that absolutely no one is hiring for and won’t work at all soon. That’s the key to ensuring Perl remains vibrant and vital with a new crop of hackers prepared for the future!
