I don't think anyone is disputing that Perl is garbage. It would just be a massive undertaking at this point to convert all of the scripts to another language, and at that point what are we really gaining.

Oh totally ... although honestly if I ever win the lotto and have too much free time it sounds like a fun project ... but then again I'm a bit of masochist when it comes to updating legacy code [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

P.S. Nilbog AND Rogean (and Haynar!) posting in the same thread? I haven't seen that in ... I can't even remember the last thread like that!

And who would have thought: all it took was a little Perl-bashing (well, and an EQEmu question) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You and me both. The number of systems I've completely recoded and overhauled since we forked from EQEmu is many. I'm a bit of a performance OCD Freak. Recoding the Scripting engine would definitely improve performance too, but I'm not going to recode all those scripts and I can't expect any of the other devs to either.
