[Semi-OT]: Perl's "popularity" versus other languages

AnomalousMonk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I know I've seen discussions of the "popularity" (i.e., number of shops using it, demand for programmers, etc.) of Perl versus other languages in these precincts before, but I can't seem to formulate productive PerlMonks or Google search terms that yield open site(s) providing this info. Can anyone please help?

Many aTdHvAaNnKcSe for any site suggestions or insight as to the proper way to proceed.

These search terms lead to perhaps the most widely discussed such sites here: developer survey results TIOBE (somewhat discredited) 🦛	[reply]

Without having links at hand ... you could check Job-search sites ... especially those for freelancers Social-networks like linked-in, xing Open Source repositories like github, CPAN E-Learning sites Boards like Stack-Overflow for statistics.

> Many aTdHvAaNnKcSe for any site suggestions What? I don't dare making suggestions now. That's a threat right? Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} PS: ;-) update turned out that it's not the name of the next pandemic disease but "Thanks in advance. The word is formed by taking alternating letters from "thanks" and " advance "." interestingly I hat to copy that from a preview text in DDG while the original page in Urban Dictionary seems to have been deleted	[reply]

while the original page in Urban Dictionary seems to have been deleted Perhaps your previous premonition of it being code for the next pandemic were shared by others...	[reply]
