Q:

Is Perl obsolete?

Is it worth learning Perl or it is an obsolete language and other languages should be learned instead of it? I would appreciate it if someone could shed light on this subject and give me some advices.

A:

No. Big software isn't really efficient to develop with it, because its oop hasn't the best syntax.
And it hasn't a graph-based garbage collector and has constant (and probably forever lasting) issues with multithreading.
But: for smaller projects it is very beautiful and it can be very efficient.
It was an opinion based question, probably it will be deleted.
