It's kind of funny because it looks like it is nonsense dreamt up by a non-programmer. But it actually works.

It's funny how solvable that problem is now. I remember seeing that comic, I think over a decade ago now, and thinking about how true it was. It really shows you have far we've come in CS.

From the hovertext: "I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I'm leaving you."

After years of a dozen other languages, I finally tried Perl the other day.

Never again, if I can help it.
