In the latest Canonical announcement for Ubuntu 24.04.1 availability, Perl is mentioned among a small list of other programming languages:
As the target platform for open source software vendors and community projects, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ships with the latest toolchains for Python, Rust, Ruby, Go, PHP and Perl, and users get first access to the latest updates for key libraries and packages.
It’s also mentioned as well in the “Ubuntu for developers” use case:
Ubuntu ships with the latest toolchains for Python, Rust, Ruby, Go, PHP and Perl, and users get first access to the latest updates for key libraries and packages.
Note they call all those “cutting-edge software”…
This is quite unusual in the last few years, and the initial announcement for Ubuntu 24.04 in April didn’t mention it.
What is going on and what do you think?
