Dear #OpenSource #Fediverse: Is it time to revive some of the good old parts of the #Perl and #RakuLang communities?
I'm specifically thinking of the "fun-with-perl" mailing list...
https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.fwp/2001.html
(or maybe we already have enough #fun in our lives? 😅)
@lemgandi @cstross The reputation was for being "write-only", and was propagated by people who didn't realize one does NOT have to know "every" way to code it in order to write something well.
What one _does_ need is the ability to learn and teach, and to write code with a human audience in mind.
Coding can be extremely fun, and especially with #Perl and #RakuLang - IF you allow yourself to play and share the joy.
Don't be a #toolblamer, be a good colleague instead.
