Bookmarked Perl group chat for the fediverse by Mark GardnerMark Gardner (chirp.social)
It's like a group chat for Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, and the rest. Discuss software development in the Perl programming language.
Y U NO guy asks you to follow & tag @Perl@chirp.social
If you’re a Perl pro­gram­mer on Mastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Friendica, or any of the oth­er fedi­verse ser­vices, you owe it to your­self to fol­low @[email protected] so you can join the dis­cus­sion with almost 200 of your peers. No wor­ry­ing about miss­ing — if the @Perl group is tagged, you’ll get the mes­sage and so will every­one else.

The Perl programming language

Perl has been my pro­gram­ming weapon of choice since 1994 and a con­sis­tent pay­check since 2007. I start­ed [blog­ging about it][tag/perl] in earnest on New Year’s Day 2021.

This post also serves to test Bridgys new abil­i­ty to sup­port favorites as well as likes. Because I like many com­put­er lan­guages, but Perl is my favorite. ❤️

Bookmarked Wikipedia: AppleScript update by Mark GardnerMark Gardner (Wikipedia)
Update infobox: remove unused & invalid values, update current AppleScript version & official website after updating Wikidata; still need to verify earliest macOS release that included this version & update Script Editor page as well

Made my first Wikipedia edit in five years, this time to update some basic info on AppleScript. In the process I learned how to update the AppleScript entry on Wikidata, Wikimedia’s data­base for pop­u­lat­ing such things.
