Bugzilla just looked SO old fashioned and clunky. Redmine was cleaner and more modern looking in every way. <br /><br />I'm sure Bugzilla would have been fine functionally, probably way better, but it just looked so Netscape 4 I thought my client would turn up their nose at it. <br /><br />I propose a big design project to make perl and perl-based systems and frameworks look cool and hip.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365421374400175465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066189435941690951.post-56146133464532636012012-06-11T12:25:27.215-07:002012-06-11T12:25:27.215-07:00I'm always after more Perl White Papers for ww...I'm always after more <a href="http://www.perl.org/about/whitepapers/" rel="nofollow">Perl White Papers</a> for <a href="http://www.perl.org" rel="nofollow">www.perl.org</a>.<br /><br />To help those trying to perused managers and tech leads to use Perl.Ranguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208601603517603574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066189435941690951.post-80433158338314488122012-06-11T12:23:34.005-07:002012-06-11T12:23:34.005-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ranguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208601603517603574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066189435941690951.post-81629021319030230852012-06-11T07:59:04.915-07:002012-06-11T07:59:04.915-07:00RoR gave ruby a little lease of life, and its equi...RoR gave ruby a little lease of life, and its equivalent of CPAN somehow has more modules (though i suspect sheer numbers isnt a useful measure, almost certainly there is a point of negative gain).<br /><br />Puppet is in ruby, which is giving it more life. <br /><br />Cloud Foundry was written in ruby (via rails) - though its now been dumped by Vmware on to the apache foundation.<br /><br />Github seems to be a mix of ruby and python.<br /><br />Personally, i think that there just needs to be some companies come out and say 'we are perl and proud'. The perl foundation would also do well to pressure RedHat to keep perl up to date in their releases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066189435941690951.post-68612056103091064412012-06-11T05:56:31.001-07:002012-06-11T05:56:31.001-07:00I initially thought about this a few months back w...I initially thought about this a few months back when chromatic did a piece on Perl Marketing.<br /><br />One thing I have thought since is; Perl 6; are people waiting for it? Do they not want to commit to learning Perl5 if they'll only have to shortly after start learning Perl6 etc. <br /><br />The other thing is as well Perl syntax isn't that scary. Ruby looks a lot like Perl and people aren't scared of it. So why attracted to Ruby and not Perl? RubyOnRails - JRuby?<br /><br />Would a nice site like TryPerl get people in?
