]]> Comment on Perl: Old and crufty? by David Underhill http://www.jasonporritt.com/perl-old-and-crufty/comment-page-1/#comment-262 David Underhill Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:19:13 +0000 http://www.jasonporritt.com/?p=95#comment-262 I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your "Old and Crufty" post. I have been writing code professionally for over 15 years and for personal enjoyment since the late 70's. I started copying programs in basic out of book on a old TRS-80 model III. During all my years, I have tried to write great code the first time but you are right, anyone that cares about the code they write will always re-write it better the next time than the last. I have always believed that a language is a language. There are of course syntactical procedural differences between them but a good programmer can write good code in any language. In all my years of learning the newest, coolest language, I have found that they are all more the same than different. I think the measure of a language is if it is still doing it's job effectively which is to convert the requirements given to the programmer into machine code which satisfy those requirements.

That is, over 80% of the people who indicated 10 years of experience have participated in the past year, compared to only about 40% for both 9 and 11 years. @KD: Hmm, that is interesting. Thanks for sharing your observation. @Kirrily: True, but that spike at 10 years of experience is the percentage of people who participate in Perl Mongers, not the number of people.

Essentially the closer to the central (mean|median|mode) age, the more likely is closer community involvement. Thanks for this by the way :-) Hmm, there’s an interesting apparent function on the perl mongers participation by age group chart.

I think people are just rounding their numbers. You see spikes at multiples of 10 years (and to a lesser extent, multiples of 5) for both “years programming” questions.
