Yeah, I started working at a place where 90%+ of the production codebase is actively-maintained Perl, and it honestly feels great.

These guys might have a hard time fitting a recruiter's definition for a "rock star" but they're the best set of colleagues I've had in a very long time, and that's after working at multiple flashy tech companies.

Long live Perl. We can only hope to get another generation of programmers as committed and useful as the people who still write Perl every day.
