Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/548.html
Hi there
Do you have a Perl books collection?
I am sure most of us own the Camel book. As you know,
there have been hardly any new Perl books published in
recent years. I recently bought two very popular Perl
books "Extending and Embedding Perl" and "Network
Programming with Perl". I have realised there are two distinct
views about good old Perl books. One view is that the
recommendations in these books are no longer in use, since we have better
choices available on CPAN now. I fully agree with this
view but I also agree to the other view that it is still relevant in terms
of base knowledge of the subject. Above all, there is a sentimental values
attached to each Perl book that I own.
How about you?
Last week, Gabor, spoke about learning languages in his
editorial. Being an Indian by birth, I know more than just
the national language of India, Hindi. I can understand,
to be precise, six human languages. Nowadays, I am
learning Spanish from my daughter as she is learning as
part of her school curriculum. But here I would like to know how many
programming languages one can fluently code in. Recently in The Weekly
Challenge ( https://theweeklychallenge.org ) contest, we have received
loads of solutions in different languages. In week 147, we
received 100+ solutions. One member who stands out front
the crowd is Abigail, who has contributed in 30
different programming languages. To me it seems impossible, but he
did it.
How many programming languages do I know? Well thanks to the weekly
challenge, I have had the opportunity to code in Raku,
Python, Java and Swift
as well as Perl, of course. Do you want to try some new
languages? Please give it a try.
Enjoy the week and stay safe.
