Source: so old it's lost

Hey now! PHP may be old and a bit clunky, but it gets shit done. I'd say PHP is the Colt repeating rifle, since PHP won the internet and the Colt won the West.

I learned perl to make IRC bots and to customize bulletin boards in the late 90s, early aughts.

Funny. I learnt perl to make an IRC bot. I didn't even get a tee shirt, let alone a wife and son
