I was a happy person programming in javascript, until mastodon came into my life 😛

@windmills "Happy" "Javascript"

I...can't reconcile that.

@filkerdave that's because I'm just starting with it. And I'm a masochist. And I used to be a perl programmer.

Now you know more about me that anybody else here ;)

@deafferret great! I love perl, it's only that I don't need to use it anymore. But I have great memories 😀 @filkerdave

@windmills @deafferret I think I've written one piece of perl code in the past....20 years? Something like that.

I kinda miss FORTRAN though.

@filkerdave @deafferret FORTRAN is a very powerful language. I don't know if it's nice, but very powerful.

And there goes my HPC and perl programmer years. So long...

@windmills @deafferret FORTRAN did a lot back in the day when I worked in the Defense industry. Haven't touched it in nigh on 30 years!
