Hehe, I'm trying to learn more than a few languages so I can get involved with multiple projects.
Maybe I can know a good bit by the time I hit 17-18. |

I work as a web developer, and the vast majority of our website code is written in Perl. Needless to say, I've learned the language quite well over the past year and a half.  |

It's easy to write code that's hard to read in Perl, yes. That's easy in lots of other programming languages too. (Such as C.) It's also easy to write code that's easy to read in Perl. People just don't do it.
I'll take solace in the fact that you're just jealous because all you can program are DOS .bat-ch files. Offended? That assumption was about on par with yours. |

Perl is a god-awful language, as are most scripting languages. With the exception of Python. You'd have to be some kind of sadist to use Perl.  Maybe that's why some people like it, though. |

Thanks man, I just may take you up one that.
I think it's cool perl can be compiled into native binary. |

Yup, I know Perl. If you run into problems or just want a basic script of mine to dissect, just say the word. |

Anyone around here using Perl in any way?
I'm learning a slew of languages because I've been bored these past months and my social life is nill.
My small list of learning or "to learn" languages.
C. C++, Perl, Lua, Ruby, php and python.
A couple of them are scripting languages but after using bash for a year exclusively I don't see that as a bad thing. |
