It's an absolute technical liability to build anything new in Perl these days.


It's more of a technical liability to write anything new in Python. All of my old perl code still runs fine, all of my python code went unusable since. It's also extremely bloated.


I upgraded to Debian 12 and all of a sudden my Python 3 code is destroyed and I have to jump through hoops to make pip work correctly again for libraries that were already on my machine. I'm leaving for greener pastures as the webdevs have ruined another good scripting language.


Or not.

I could assert the same about C since Morris Worm, and here we are.
