@alexander_schoch “At first glance, #Perl looks like PHP and bash had a child, which is not something I’d expect in a #programming language.”
What if I told you it was the other way around?
- Perl dates back a full two years before #Bash, originating as a better text manipulation option than #Unix commands while still looking familiar to #shell scripters
- #PHP dates from the mid 1990s, when it was heavily inspired by Perl, though with much more inconsistent syntax
