@Perl there have been several formative tech moments in my life, learning #Perl was the first, later #Vim and #Git. I've tried learning #python, but for some reason it just won't go in. Perl has always felt just right.
Learning how to code beautiful Perl so that it is easy to read is a must and it can be done, you just have to give up all those clever shortcuts.
@chrisjrob @Perl #PerlTidy and #PerlCritic also help with readable, maintainable, and consistent #Perl code. I like to joke that I don’t have a style, I have a perlcritic policy.
