Struggling with a “New” Language
Listening to: King Of Pain - The Police
The very first language I ever used for web apps was Perl (I use the word “used” in the same way a 3 year old uses the phrase “i do fine art”). I haven’t touched it for 10 years and I am now back up to my eye balls with it. My brain hurts. I have really rapidly reached that “f**kit I’m going to do this in [current language of high proficiency]” stage … where you know the effort will pay off and the ACTUAL value of going back is not as high as you want it to be.
I am hoping to cure my hatred of RegEx at the end of this exercise…
