I used to love Perl as it worked the way my brain worked.

Then I started taking medication for ADHD.

I haven't used Perl since except for text parsing, it's an absolute hot mess of a language (though very powerful and functional at the things it does well)

That's super interesting.

I have a mental divergence that isn't ADHD. I was reviewing stats on it that said people who have it are some percent more likely to have ADHD. I wonder if my previous enjoyment of Perl is because I'm on an ADHD spectrum. It would be interesting to find out.
