| ▲ | patates 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | booking uses Perl? that's one of the web sites that gives me the irrational "the backend must be Java" feeling. can't explain why though. | | |
| ▲ | lysace 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Got curious. Seems like they have been a heavy Perl shop from the beginning. Their backend developer job ads appear to be oddly programming language neutral which I assume means they're still using Perl a lot. (Been there, done that, when recruiting for work in an unusual programming language.) |

| ▲ | whilenot-dev 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I don't think they're comparable... I read stories on how a paid reservation at Booking.com isn't a guaranteed stay at a hotel. Geizhals gives you the stock and availability infos right on the results page. Seems like one is making better use of Perl that the other. |
