Perl 5.38
I&#x27;m learning perl right now and I&#x27;m bewildered at how could I overlook it for such a long time.<p>With all its quirks and strange design decisions (especially compared to elegant languages like ML or Scheme), it has it&#x27;s own killer features I missed from other scripting languages so much, such as the ability to embed a shell command in backquotes and get its output easily.<p>Also the notion of context is pretty good, allowing to write a far shorter code, even sigils contribute to that naturally (in languages like bash they feel like a useless burden).
