The expression "faint praise" comes to mind.

From the graph, it seems more accurate to say that Perl is
undertaking Python.
Jean-Paul
And to make it even more accurate, "Perl is undertaking Python in
India", since that's where the difference in favor of Python comes
from.

No, it's the other way around. The big difference in India is in
favor of Perl.

I guess India is a big leader in perl coz all the decades old perl
scripts are maintained in India.
US Corporations have outsourced fixing/changing 80s-90s perl code to
India.

I'm working on a prototype of a new application in Python. At some point, if this ever turns into a product, the powers that be will almost certainly demand that it be done in Perl. My job will be to convince them otherwise. The basic design of the application is object oriented. I've never used Perl's OO features, so I'm not in a good position to make a comparison of the two languages from an OO point of view. Can somebody who's...

Hello, This is not a troll posting, and I've refrained from asking because I've seen similar threads get all nitter-nattery. But I really want to make a decision on how best to invest my time. I'm not interested on which language is better in *general*, just for my purpose. My area of research is in CAD algorithms, and I'm sensing the need to resort to something more expedient than C++, bash scripting, or sed scripting.

I've read some posts on Perl versus Python and studied a bit of my Python book. I'm a software engineer, familiar with C++ objected oriented development, but have been using Perl because it is great for pattern matching, text processing, and automated testing. Our company is really fixated on risk managnemt and the only way I can do enough testing without working overtime (which some people have ended up doing) is by automating my...

I am a little annoyed at why such a simple program in Perl is causing so much difficulty for python, i.e: $a += 200000 * 140000; print $a;

I've been thinking (and blogging) about python evangelism since PyCon, as a result of which I created a squidoo lens: http://www.squidoo.com/pythonlogy Imagine my surprise at discovering that this has gone up in rank (by number of views) from # 442,000 or so to #153! Clearly there's some mileage in marketing Python, and I'd like to keep the buzz going if it means more people will adopt the language.

I'm working on a product which for a long time has had a Perl binding for our remote access API. A while ago, I wrote a Python binding on my own, chatted it up a bit internally, and recently had a (large) customer enquire about getting access to it. I asked for permission to distribute the Python binding, and after a few weeks of winding its way through the corporate bureaucracy I got an email from a product manager who wants to meet...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
