hi, i was interested if perl is still relevant in this day and age. Perl has been on the decline for a very long time now. Perl 6 (now named 'raku) not being backwards compatible with perl 5 code made the already small perl community even smaller by splitting it in half. A good example is lisp with it’s thousands of different dialects.
Is it still worth using or is it bound to legacy software forever? Like cobol.
It has never been an issue for me in 20 years. If you move code, you cut a whole paragraph, paste, and indent appropriately.

Your code won’t be indented properly, same problem as Python unless you have a formatting tool in your setup.

Python isn’t (generally) compiled. Have you used python before?
