hello,
I got into learning Perl because some people on IRC said so. at first I wasn’t interested in Perl because I already know Python and Python can almost do anything Perl can. I still gave it a try to kinda have some experience learning new language. I am on chapter 3 right now and would make another post about my progress.
I won’t say “better” but Perl 6 is … interesting. It’s not clear what version you’re using.
I suggest Haskell as your next language instead of Perl, since it will change how you think. https://learnyouahaskell.com is a good place to start.
When people say perl, they normally mean Perl 5. Perl 6 is now called Raku and is considered a different language.
It’s not that far from the tree
I’ve been brainwashed into finding Elixir interesting due to how it handles parallelism and good it’s supposed to be for live debugging. (According to ~3 talks I found on youtube)
