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."

    ..perhaps 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.

      Yeah, why would you need to do anything useful like fork processes when you can just draw your program?
