mjgardner, 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago) @Perl After reading https://doi.org/10.1145/3386327, I’m imagining an alternate #WebDev history where #Netscape hired #LarryWall instead of @BrendanEich. (The latter previously worked for co-founder Jim Clark at #SGI, so as always it’s who you know.) No, I don't think we would have #Perl in our web browsers (and possibly everywhere else). But #JavaScript might have started less #Self-ish and a little more Perl-ish.
