Maybe people “dislike Perl” exactly because lines like that?
Kind Regards
People dislike, at most, Perl because they never tried to program using that.
The Perl motto “There is more than one way to do it” explains how Perl works. That line of code is one of so many manners of writting a Fibonacci sequence.
Perl is famous because is easy (it is based on “natural language”) and is “the origin” of PHP, Ruby and Python.
“Disliking” Perl is most of stigma than truth.
My eyes bleed.
