@purple Well, I am using Mojo which I think is doing me a lot of favors… Before this I only produced bad CGI scripts and occasional vomit

@swaggboi@fedi.seriousbusiness.international perl was my first love, but i refuse to let it face the world. it is the duct tape that keeps the internet going

@purple I think I got into bash before anything, then perl because I asked someone many $dayjobs ago how to get into programming if I’m already into UNIX and shell scripting. They recommended perl naturally lol.

@swaggboi does perl not have an auto-formatter? I would spend zero amount of time considering whitespace if I could.

@joyo I’m using a linter rn called perlcritic; there’s also perltidy I guess I could use which automates it. I’m not very good about implementing quality-of-life shit when I probably should.

@swaggboi if your editor doesn’t automatically run on save then you should quit using RMS trash.

@swaggboi @JoYo This is my .perltidyrc I've been using for years now. Might help you to get started.https://gist.github.com/Htbaa/484396

@Htbaa @joyo Thanks I’ll take a look, right now just using perlcritic and I told it to ignore subroutine signatures (cuz Mojo plus I like signatures)

@swaggboi @JoYo I should look into perlcritic but I don’t like a computer telling me how to do something 😆.

@JoYo @swaggboi that’s for Rust right? Never done anything with that yet (haven’t even touched it). So I’m good 😉.

@Htbaa @swaggboi yah, rust is very opinionated. the benefit being a reduction in segfaults.

@Htbaa @joyo I don’t like a computer telling me how to do somethingI believe perlcritic just uses perltidy under the covers (I see it as a dependency) so it might not be worth your while if you’re happy with your perltidy config.As for me, I like to write bad tests to go along with my bad code. Computer yells at me constantly 😭

@swaggboi https://gist.github.com/ology/e0b58ea953d508b06f71653b8924af59 is what I might do. (And I *hate* putting complex expressions inside a `map` block.) 😉

@ology Ya know… Sometimes you just need a little less code. I dig it, thanks!

@swaggboi Your map is getting too big. This is how I would write it.https://paste.lgts.xyz/?c0768668ba0dd8c2#8krkXqvYegFptgtYizfN3uUPXDjNRGY9ouZDTiyUKgYXI used features that are marked experimental in #Perl v5.20, but note that postderef is stable as of 5.24 and signatures stable as of v5.36. They’re just syntactic niceties, though.
