Perl 5 is still a great replacement for sed and awk in one-liners. Which is what it was originally envisaged as (although more than just one-liners), and is probably how it should survive - the most powerful one-line tool in existence.

I think they mean Nix terminal work. APL & J obviously win hands down as overal one-liner kings. Can Dyalog be used via the terminal in that manner? I'm guessing so, but never seen it used outside the IDE.

Do you have the wrong thread? You're quoting https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15005881 , but replying to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15005874 (albeit by the same user).
