Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. https://perlweekly.com/archive/544.html
Hi there
We wish all the readers of the newsletter, Merry Christmas. I hope and wish you are all enjoying quality time with your loved ones.
Belated happy birthday to my favourite language, Perl, on completing 34 years. Mark Gardner used his weekly blogging schedule to celebrate the occassion in his blog post ( https://phoenixtrap.com/2021/12/21/34-at-34-for-v5-34-modern-perl-features- for-perls-birthday ).
Do you remember which year you first picked up the Perl language?
For me, I was introduced to Perl in the year 1998. So technically, I am 23 Perl years old. How about you? I am wondering if anyone other than the creator picked the language in the first year that it existed. If you know their name then please do share it with us. I am sure there must be a handful of people that I am not aware of.
Talking about birthday celebrations, I would like to wish belated Happy Birthday to the mother of our chief editor, Gabor Szabo. As per the record, my birthday was last Monday i.e. 20th December. To date, I have never celebrated my birthday, this year also went without celebration.
I noticed that I am getting close to my 100th edition of the newsletter. This is my 94th edition. It would be a big achievement for me, personally, to reach that number. I am looking forward to the 556th edition of the weekly newsletter as that will be my 100th edition.
Stay safe and enjoy the holiday break.
