Warning: Rant ahead
Re this comparison, some of the comparisons have some value; others are frivolous
- (Go is in the second column; Perl in the third:
- "WillGetYouLaid Yes ?")
and some, such as the row labeled "Description," are just the products of flat-out ignorance and trolling. The conclusion there is similar to the calumny that Perl is a language written in line-noise. Since I'm not willing to sign into nor register with the site, my suggested improvement will be confined to this node:
Perl is a programming language created by Larry Wall and subsequently enhanced through his efforts and those of users. At one time, it was regarded as the prime language for web site programming and is still widely used in that context. Now (2016), Perl is a general purpose language applicable to a wide range of applications -- including, even, prototyping of numerically-oriented programs which may require the final tool to be created in a language such as C. Perl detractors have characterized its use of symbols (indicating variable types, for example) as "line noise" but even novice users find very little difficulty in dealing with those after a minimal study of the language's syntax.
But, aside from that comparison site link, I'm on board with most of Discipulus' comment.
