Guest Post: Why Perl isn't Going Away Soon (Or Ever)
,----[ Quote ]
| Lately, the Perl language has had less buzz
| surrounding it than many other languages and
| development environments, but Perl is still
| a key component on the Internet. For this
| guest post, we asked Jeff Hobbs, Director
| of Engineering at ActiveState, to weigh in
| on the topic.

A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages
,----[ Quote ]
| 1801 - Joseph Marie Jacquard uses punch
| cards to instruct a loom to weave "hello,
| world" into a tapestry. Redditers of the
| time are not impressed due to the lack of
| tail call recursion, concurrency, or proper
| capitalization.

Perl 5 development continues as version 5.12 released
,----[ Quote ]
| The Perl 6 project, which aimed to radically
| reinvent the open source programming language,
| first began to take shape in 2000. A decade
| later, there are several implementations with
| varying levels of completeness, but it is
| still not ready to replace Perl 5 in
| production environments.
|
| In order to ensure that Perl doesn't
| completely stagnate during the protracted
| revamp, a group of developers have decided to
| pull Perl 5 out of maintenance mode and begin
| actively enhancing it with new features. The
| result is Perl 5.12, which was officially
| released this week. It was preceded by 5.11,
| an experimental development release that was
| issued last year.
