RIP: The Perl Journal

Posted by chrisd on from the tpj-was-good-for-perl dept.

mbadolato writes "I'm surprised this hasn't been reported yet. Over at use.perl they're reporting that when the current issue of SysAdmin comes out, this will be the last installment of The Perl Journal. It's a shame. TPJ originally was stopped as a stand-alone, but was then included into Sysadmin. Now that's going too. We all owe a big thanks to all the contributers, and to Jon Orwant, for providing us a great resource in TPJ over the years."

    Yeah, we all know Visual Basic is so much better anyways. At least, there's a large corporation standing behind it. And VB Programs don't look like modem line noise.

    A microserf, and proud of it!

    Borrowing a well turned phrase from Martha Stewart:
    It's a good thing.
    Perhaps now that it is clear Perl is dying, that this means people will start programming in languages designed with encapsulation, readability, and orthogonality in mind, and software will be created that's fit enough for a general user, rather than a user-developer.

    'Obfuscated Perl' is a redundancy.
