The most fun I had was finding a module written in Perl and Postscript, porting the Perl part to Python.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Found a legacy module written in Perl that needed to be ported.
If it s anything remotely complicated, and you need portability, then use perl python go.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: For writing portable scripts, especially anything remotely complicated, to avoid shell quirks across different Unix-like systems.
Perl in one stroke collapsed the programming of C, text manipulation, the capabilities of all of the Unix utilities, and data structures into one system. It was very friendly in dealing with text streams.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Replacing C, shell scripts, and Unix utilities (grep, awk, sed) for automation and text manipulation.
