    Incorrect. Perl does the same just as well, and it’s a language that actually makes sense while also being uglier.

      In my experience Perl is a write-only language. Coming in behind someone else and fixing or writing their code is often slower than just rewriting it

        Perl is partially readable, provided that it’s your own code. The one thing perl coders hate the most, is other people’s code.
