@Mutesplash@uncontrollablegas.com @siracusa@mastodon.social perl 5.8 to 5.10 was a bigger step than Python 3 and perl has never broken compatibility with nearly as much. Modern Perl (the book) is only about 10yrs old.

@enobacon@urbanists.social @Mutesplash@uncontrollablegas.com @siracusa@mastodon.social obviously perl did break compatibility and it went so well, that they later renamed it, to be a new language instead
