We're working on a complete re-write of MW in Perl. Well not exactly a port, but we like lots of mediawiki features, and will be really looking at it for tips, we just like perl more and need a few things customized to work with our goal instead of the messed up wikimedia one; including a lot more support for integration between wikis on a network.
Perl?
You're kidding right?
Is there some rule that says mediawiki must be written in a language which encourages, nay demands!, unmaintainable results?
You just insulted me as a Perl programmer that all my code is unmaintanable. Please have a look at:
I'd humbly suggest that there are better things to discuss here than if certain languages are more maintainable than others. A good programmer can write maintainable code in any language; similarly a bad programmer can write crap anywhere, too.
Are we here to have a meaningful discussion about MW, or just engage in useless language debates?
