Whatever happened to Perl? Back in the day it was wildly popular and was used all over the place. Then there was supposed to be a big rewrite for Perl 6 and that's the last I've ever heard of it. No news, no releases, nothing. For me Python came in and ate Perl's lunch, so I don't miss it at all. Python is better in every way for me. Honestly Perl was a horrible language, but still interesting to see it die so suddenly.
