Aho – a Git implementation in Awk
> then people decided perl was bad and moved on from that.
Screw what people think. I found out I like perl. The last thing I wrote is a programmatic partition editor [1] - like how you use sfdisk to zero out the partition, except I wanted to have the MBR and GPT partition table to combine them and make hybrids.
I was fun, and I will use perl again (I may also use awk at one point now that I see how cool it is)

Significant features introduced for recent versions of Perl
> Bummer you’d been downvoted for that.
Some people have an instinctual dislike of things they've been told it's fashionable to hate. I resent that, because all programming languages are interesting in their own ways.
> It sounds like quite the ambitious project that you’ve nearly got working. Cool!
Oh it's already working, it just needs more polish :)
Check https://github.com/csdvrx/hdisk if you're interested
Actually, I'll try to submit it!
> That is not the sort of thing I’d expect someone to write in Perl, and I’m experiencing an odd mix of “that’s amazing!” and “what on earth were you thinking, my friend?!”
I wanted to do it quickly :)
For decoding weird formats that mix little and big ending, I think perl unpack/unpack is the fastest way.
Also, for computing crc32, I didn't have to bother much :)

and Gabor Szabo https://perlmaven.com/about
They are also both co-editors of the Perl Weekly https://perlweekly.com/
The Perl Foundation co-ordinates activities such as grants funding development, fundraising, and conference organizing. https://www.perlfoundation.org/
There are also a few senior Perl personalities still around such as brian d. foy who continue to write and update books and blogs.
The post-Larry Wall community seems to be doing ok so far. What is notably missing is more active participation from companies making the most use of Perl such as Craigslist or Duck Duck Go.
