Perl and Python are often compared to each other (let's not forget Ruby), and almost always those discussions will come to the conclusion pretty much anything you can do in one or the other. Without going into that, I've noticed that Python however, is often used as an implementation language (uhmm, maybe the term here is incorrect technically - a language you use to, for example, enable some degree of scripting in a large application ...

XS has a reputation for being hard to access and I think it's a shame because I don't think it has to be: it's mostly that the Perl API is hard.

That would be much easier for a casual XS writer who doesn't know anything about Perl's internals.| blogs.perl.org

The other day, a concatenation of circumstances led me to thinking about the lousy state of sending formatted text to Slack. We have a bot called Synergy at work, and the bot posts lots of content. Mostly it’s plain text, but sometimes we have it send text with bold or links. This is for a couple reasons. Our bot supports channels other than Slack (like SMS and Discord and the console), so we can’t express everything in Slack-oriented terms.
