I'm learning a new language called Raku. Why? I want to automate tasks and learn how to solve complex algorithms. Also, I wanted to learn something new, interesting and different. I am already profess…
Sidef is a prototype programming language, describing itself as inspired by Ruby, Raku, and Julia. Installation on OSX It's not that easy to run Sidef. It runs on Perl 5 platform and you can install it through CPAN, but you'll run into seri…
Lingua Romana Perligata is basically Perl in Latin. You think Perl has too much punctuation? It's all gone. Instead you'll need to deal with word endings. To enjoy Lingua Romana Perligata you need to install it with cpan Lingua::Romana::Per…

Awk is basically a proto-Perl. As Perl was one of the most influential language of all times (JavaScript, Ruby, and PHP are all Perl's direct descendants), Awk is indirectly quite historically important. There hasn't been any good reason to…
We did Ruby, we did Python, time for a classic language you probably aren't seeing much of these days - Perl. But this isn't just a Perl episode. As doing decent session isolation on Perl side would be quite difficult (and to be honest, eve…
