[Semi-OT]: Perl's "popularity" versus other languages

by AnomalousMonk (Archbishop)
on Jan 03, 2021 at 12:32 UTC ( [id://11126195]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

AnomalousMonk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I know I've seen discussions of the "popularity" (i.e., number of shops using it, demand for programmers, etc.) of Perl versus other languages in these precincts before, but I can't seem to formulate productive PerlMonks or Google search terms that yield open site(s) providing this info. Can anyone please help?

Many aTdHvAaNnKcSe for any site suggestions or insight as to the proper way to proceed.

    Without having links at hand ...

    you could check

    • Job-search sites ... especially those for freelancers
    • Social-networks like linked-in, xing
    • Open Source repositories like github, CPAN
    • E-Learning sites
    • Boards like Stack-Overflow

    for statistics.

    What? I don't dare making suggestions now.

    That's a threat right?

    PS: ;-)

    update

    turned out that it's not the name of the next pandemic disease but

    • "Thanks in advance. The word is formed by taking alternating letters from "thanks" and " advance "."
    interestingly I hat to copy that from a preview text in DDG while the original page in Urban Dictionary seems to have been deleted

      ... name of the next pandemic ... Maybe I should be more careful. After all, "Speak of the Devil and He appears."

      Perhaps your previous premonition of it being code for the next pandemic were shared by others...
