@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

My family spent Thanksgiving week at a cabin about an hour from home. My son was down by the lake one afternoon and found this tiny shell on the beach. I thought I'd see if I could use my macro lens to make an interesting photo of it. I really like the way the inner spiral of the shell turned out.
