perlcommunityon Ask HN: Is it still a good idea to learn Perl for a young developer?

It follows when someone discovers Perl,

"Yes, we know it's nothing new It's just a waste of time We have no need for ancient ways The world is doing fine

Another toy will help destroy The elder race of man Forget about your silly whim It doesn't fit the plan.

I can't believe you're saying These things just can't be true Our world could use this beauty Just think what we might do.

Listen to my music And hear what it can do There's something here as strong as life I know that it will reach you.

Don't annoy us further We have our work to do. Just think about the average What use have they for you?"

perlcommunityon The Science Perl Journal – first stand-alone Perl Periodical in over 23 Years

The Perl Community [1] is proud to announce the official release of the first stand-alone Perl periodical in over 23 years, the Science Perl Journal issue #1 [2]!

The Perl Community is a 501(c)(3) organization unaffiliated with any other registered Perl organizations; it is based in Austin, Texas. It is dedicated to the advancement of the Perl 5 through its committees, including AI Perl, Perl::Types, and the Science Perl Committees; and publications like the Science Perl Journal.

The journal is sponsored by the Science Perl Committee, and is currently accepting submissions for the upcoming Perl Community Conference [2] on Dec. 18th, Perl's 37th birthday.

Topics in issue #1 [3] include large language models, genetic sequencing, storm surge prediction, counterfeit pharmaceutical detection, and AI-based structuring of unstructured data.
