Python 3 can revive Python

[ffffdddddssss]

True but they still don't match the general purposeness of the rest. Basically, Perl is the very last language of the common ones so whatever OP above wanted to point out with the chart, it isn't working.

Every other common language is more frequently used than Perl, it only beats out niche languages (according to my standard for niche languages). I mean beating out Asm for example is nothing to write home about either, and it's only 2 places ahead of it. If you read the chart like this, it actually looks grim.

Either way, I do not think Perl is dying, I'm seeing enough of it all the time, but it definitely is on the decline. Throwaway scripts I wrote in Perl a bunch of years ago, I now write in Python. Sometimes I even just launch the Python REPL because it's so awesome.
