#Perl: older than some #programming careers, younger at heart than you think.

It’s evolved a lot since 1999 — modern features, cleaner syntax — yet it still runs code you wrote decades ago.

(And if you’re wondering: #Perl6 was renamed Raku in 2019 — it’s a sister language, not a successor.)

For those of you have been programming for more than a decade, what programming languages, ecosystems, technologies do you wish you had spent more time with?

For me, it would be: #C, #Perl, #OpenZFS, #TLA+, #ErlangOTP .

(I have spent some time with #commonlisp, #clojure, #java, #rakulang so these are not listed.)
