Programmers Aren’t So Humble Anymore—Maybe Because Nobody Codes in Perl. 🤣 Perl’s intentional messiness and linguistic pluralism forced developers to confront edge cases, inconsistency, and entropy in real time. Today’s tools are smoother, faster, AI‑assisted—but maybe that gloss hides unseen fragility. 🦙

TL;DR
⚠️ Perl once powered Amazon, Craigslist, bioinformatics
🧠 Known for “There’s More Than One Way to Do It”
🔐 Its chaotic syntax bred humility in programmers
🔍 Its decline may reflect rising overconfidence in modern tools
