[sf-perl] Thanks For Coming Out Tonight

[Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer]

Those *are* some really interesting observations.

> 1) There was a strong correlation between diverse team compositions (in terms of what programming languages the team members used) and how many downloads the project would get.

And what do you think the story is there?  Programmers with diverse language experience write better code?  Or do the projects themselves incorporate multiple languages, which means they have wider applicability?


> 2) The amount of code submitted was inversely proportional to the success of the project. 

Curious.  How did you define success?  And what does "submitted" mean?  A pull request?

> Maybe one thing CPAN/stratopan could improve is ways to integrate with other programming language development tools or workflows and encourage a diverse group of programmers to work with perl. 


Yes, I'll meditate on that for a while.
