@caseyliss@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social To be fair, the python people care about is 3 which was released in 2008 and perl 5, the one people usually associate with "perl" was 1994.

@bartreardon@aus.social Today’s Perl 5.40.2 is not the same as 1994’s Perl 5.0.0

@bartreardon@aus.social @caseyliss@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social Yeah, but Perl 7 is only 5 years old and also already retired while we birth a new Perl 7. 17 years is positively ANCIENT compared to the once and future Perl 😇
