On the future of Perl 5On the future of Perl 5Posted Dec 3, 2008 17:48 UTC (Wed) by jordip (guest, #47356)In reply to: On the future of Perl 5 by stijn Parent article: On the future of Perl 5
A friend of mine just entered in a bioinformatics lab and they ask her to learn Perl. I just took my first look to the language trying to help her and for simple data managing scripts it is quite neat.
I wondered why they make the students learn perl instead of other languages. It looks like there are a big library of scripts with all sorts of utilities noone want to rewrite .... Maybe I am wrong...
