At OSCON this year, on Wednesday night at 7 PM in Exhibit Hall 3, I'm participating in a Language Roundtable Session with representatives from some of the other popular open source languages. We're going to talk about some of the best and worst features of our preferred languages and how well they perform with different types of application development.
I know why I love Perl, and there's plenty of new activity in the "modern" Perl community to talk about. This is a great chance to let everyone know what great strides Perl has made. It's a chance to get people to take an up-to-date look at Perl. However I don't want to waste any time on "worst" features in other languages.
So what are the best features of Perl today? What do you want the OSCON audience to hear about?
