Just about everything that makes Nestoria go is built using the Perl programming language and related tools. Perl is a flexible and widely-used alternative to more “enterprise” platforms like Java and .NET and has a larger and better-organized collection of free libraries available than Ruby or Python. We find that it scratches our technical itches very nicely.

To stay current, most of the Nestoria Tech Team will be attending YAPC::Europe 2007 in Vienna at the end of August - the biggest yearly Perl event in Europe. We look forward to seeing a lot of friends from the London Perl Mongers and meeting other Perl users from across the continent. Larry Wall himself will be in attendance and will undoubtedly give a talk about what we can expect from Perl 6 - the as-yet-unready-for-prime-time next version of the language. If anybody wants to talk about the challenges building and scaling a vertical search engine built on Perl, Apache, MySQL, and Linux, do look us up.
