"Perl has served us quite well since Fastmail’s inception. We’ve built up a large code base that has continued to work, grow, and improve over twenty years. We’ve stuck with Perl because Perl stuck with us: it kept working and growing and improving, and very rarely did those improvements require us to stop the world and adapt to onerous changes."

Thanks to @rjbs@social.semiotic.systems and Fastmail for supporting Perl 5 core development. 🙏
