<div dir="ltr">I used to share the write-only language viewpoint, having attempted to read my own code a few months later. I have learned a lot about more recent developments in Perl 5 that help in that regard. Obviously Ruby and Python have grabbed most of the space that Perl once occupied, and the promise of Perl 6 badly stunted further growth.<div><div><br></div><div>I find the meetings interesting.
