I’m looking for work as a senior software #developer. I have a full-stack #WebDev cert, 16+ years #Perl back-end experience, proficiency in multiple other #programming languages.
Databases? Sure, relational *and* NoSQL. Ci/CD? Have done, want to do more. I like working with others, either here in #Houston or remotely across the US.
I’ve been hacking code since the #Commodore PET days. I can certainly delight your customers, whatever your stack.

🚀 Solving Geocoding Challenges with Perl at Geolytica 🌍
Geolytica tackles the tough problem of parsing free-form addresses and matching them to real-world locations! 🖥️✨
From correcting OpenStreetMap Point Of Interest data using in-house AI ("PerlGPT") to maintaining billions of geo-location entities, Perl’s stability and versatility make it the backbone of their geocoding engines for geocoder.ca and geocode.xyz.

Interesting that it uses Object::Pad (metacpan.org/pod/Object::Pad), which has become a testbed/preview for upcoming features in Perl's (still experimental) new #OOP syntax (perldoc.perl.org/perlclass, code-named #Corinna). I know @leonerd has often asked for more folks to kick the tires on both.

I love Perl. 💜 It's the language I know best, at the moment, because I have been using it since 1995, as a career Perl programmer.
However, I rather like Ruby, because it's very Perlish, has first class PCRE, and is concise and clean, and DWIM. Most importantly, it has a cleaner OOP syntax, with a "class" keyword built-in, unlike Perl, whose OOP is a bolted-on afterthought, bless her dirty soul.
Python is okay, but it's built-in support for List Comprehension is super awesome! List Comprehensions make code even more elegant and pithy than Perl, by natively providing a construct that is roll-your-own in Perl, like OO.
Also, Python's NumPy and SciPy libraries gave it an early lead in the field of Machine Learning, a place that should rightfully have belonged to Perl, notorious for how easily it can slice, dice and munge text.
#perl #ruby #python #programming #programminglanguages #machinelearning
@ajnn
My two wish list items for Perl are:
1. OOP : As natural and seamless as Ruby. Built-in "class" keyword and other OO features.
2. List Comprehensions : Just steal shamelessly from Python. This one should be relatively easy to implement.
When I want something to keep working ... I write it in Perl.
Legible¹, modern, simple ... Perl.
Every other language is a never-ending hellscape of "stop thinking about the problem because you're making me think about the tool instead".
I do not have time to constantly refresh my mental-model cache of ten layers of your platform's installation abstractions.
I do not have time to perpetually chase a sliding window of backwards incompatibility, nested dependencies, inscrutable errors, curl|sudo bash-isms, and dead-end / WONTFIX help threads.
I do not have time to PR your GitHub README to supply the seven implied assumptions missing from your "quick start".
I have work to do.
