It's #skunky, it's #wild, it's #witchcraft!

Does anyone else backtick your own #perl scripts? That's what I meant back during #europython 23 when I was talking with some ppl about quick prototyping before rewriting standalone scripts into more robust things.

But hey, #hobby #KISS #coders can :D

Also, don't mind me, i'm just slowly waking up from 20 yrs long coma. Ok, just hormone induced continuous stress disorder, but it kind of feels like I'm 12 again and full of curiosity. #hrtmagic

@a66ey Do you mean writing prototype with commands in backticks, and then replacing it bit by bit with actual Perl language syntax?

That’s perfectly valid! Especially if you’re more used to shell but you’re trying to bootstrap up.

This week I found out about Tim Maher’s 2006 book “Minimal Perl for and People.” It sounds like it might be very helpful: https://www.manning.com/books/minimal-perl
