hello,
I got into learning Perl because some people on IRC said so. at first I wasn’t interested in Perl because I already know Python and Python can almost do anything Perl can. I still gave it a try to kinda have some experience learning new language. I am on chapter 3 right now and would make another post about my progress.
I won’t say “better” but Perl 6 is … interesting. It’s not clear what version you’re using.
I suggest Haskell as your next language instead of Perl, since it will change how you think. https://learnyouahaskell.com is a good place to start.
When people say perl, they normally mean Perl 5. Perl 6 is now called Raku and is considered a different language.
I’ve been brainwashed into finding Elixir interesting due to how it handles parallelism and good it’s supposed to be for live debugging. (According to ~3 talks I found on youtube)
