I guess you like wearing tight leather suit every night and beating yourself with a whip?

Didn’t Perl 6 actualy break off into a new language

Oh yeah the butterfly thing or whatever

you can’t even use the switch case statement without writing
use v5.10.0;
at the top

holy baste

does it have goto’s?

Yes, and no one uses it because it is shit

yes

computed gotos too

So I can write for loops and switch case statements with explicit gotos

what a based language

but to unlock its power

you need to be initiated

and write this boilerplate at the top of every script

what is this

it doesn’t even support UTF-8 by default?

are you fucking kidding me

and what does use strict do

that’s how far it sunk itself in the “support stuff from the 90s” rabbit hole

a lot, check perldoc strict

what le actual fuck

alias perl=’perl -CSA -Mutf8′

And do I really have to end every script with __END__ to have documentation at the end

Tcl does and it has bindings for PCRE

Ditch P*rl

This language looks like a perfect match for me

y ?

Which one

perl

I mean, I write COBOL for a living, so

I guess you like wearing tight leather suit every night and beating yourself with a whip?

I wish

But seriously, try COBOL with GnuCOBOL, it’s quite nice

No, thanks, I’m fed with COBOL until the end of my life

why

have you ever tried it
