Is perl really
No hate i’m just surprised
It's a dependency of a lot of things, including git, lxc, GNU autotools. Check the Required By on the Archlinux repo.
Based solely off the implications of this post, it seems Perl is installed default on most Linux distros and MacOS, but not Windows. https://www.perl.com/article/downloading-and-installing-perl-in-2021/
His table is overly Perl favored. On Linux you will have Bash, Perl, and Python. On Windows none of these. You could have replaced Perl with Python and the argument would be equally or more true yet they rate Python lower.
