What is the average salary for Perl programmers in 2020?


Original article published  my new blog  blog.assad.fr

If I have no definitive answer on this, the Business Insider has some insights:
HackerRank polled 116000 developers about their salaries and got interesting results:
  • Perl is associated with an average global salary of $84,025.50 (54.2% higher than the global average salary)
  • Scala is associated with an average global salary of $77,159.60
  • Go is associated with an average global salary of $72,691.30
  • Python is associated with an average global salary of $56,670.90
  • JavaScript is associated with an average global salary of $55,690
Without more information about the polled panel it's hard to state this results as “Truth” but they seems to confirm personal beliefs:
  • The salary is more linked to the scarsity of resources than to the trendyness of the associated technology.
  • Perl resources are less and less available.
You know what ? It's good to be a Perl programmer :-)

Change your Gogs admin password

I might have missed something, but I haven't found any simple way to change my admin password (with emailing not active) in gogs. It was quite easy to find the hash location, but as I didn't know how it was generated... Luckily I eventually found the parameters used, so here it is for you if you need them embedded in a script : var pbkdf2 = require('pbkdf2-sha256'); var key = 'YourChosenPasword'; var salt = 'AnyRandomValue'; var hash = pbkdf2(key, salt, 10000, 50); console.log(hash.toString('hex')); All I had to do was then to update the table user , setting passwd to the generated value (and updating salt with the value used in the script).

JavaScript for Perl lovers.

Article originally published on  Hello.js This time I feel really qualified to write this article because believe me, I love Perl ! I think in Perl, I dream in Perl, and I really appreciate the whole Perl community. I’ve been in love with this language for more than a decade but I decided that I needed a change. I’ve already said in a previous article why I chose to learn JavaScript this year (instead of getting involved in Perl 6 for example) but let me tell you why you might also enjoy learning JavaScript if you love Perl. Perl developers form a very unified community that all too often, resist outside influences, but learning a second language like JavaScript can really be a very enlightening experience. It’s expressive  JavaScript, like Perl, is an expressive language. You get your work done with just a few lines of code. When talking about programming languages, I really like the tent analogy: In a tent, you have functional things (tent fabrics) whose purpo...
