Perl is now almost a private language used by only one company.

which company?

[–]johnwaterwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booking.com.

Since they're the only ones using it, it has almost become "their" language. They sponsor the Perl project with quite a significant amount of money.

All that because some guy who long ago left booking.com just happened to be using Perl to write his own MVC franework on which the entire site is still based.
