in reply to Why does PerlMonks rock?

In part it's the subject matter. For a whole lot of reasons Perl feels more fun to use than any other language I've used. It seems to me that engenders an enthusiasm for Perl that is substantially greater than that for other similar interest areas.

PerlMonks draws together a bunch of knowledgeable and enthusiastic people with an ethos of sharing their knowledge and teaching others. Some of this is stimulated by the FOSS background or inclination of many people using Perl.

And as others have said or implied, the site gets it pretty much right in terms of accessibility, focus and methods of interaction.

The bottom line is that it's a combination of the language, the community and the site.


Perl reduces RSI - it saves typing
