Who is the second biggest (commercial?) user of Perl?
Definitions of "biggest" will vary, but here are three for which I believe
booking.com is world number 1:
1) Number CPU cores mostly running Perl code
2) Number CPU cores with CPU-bound Perl code
3) Number of developers working mostly on a Perl codebase
This might be a bit tricky to assess, given that for most firms the actual
numeric answers to the above are commercially confidential.
(And heck, I don't actually know the answers to the above for my current
employer) but I think it's possible to express the first two in the form
"some time between 12 months ago and 12 months from now we were/will be using
10 ** $int CPU cores" to get an idea of the order of magnitude.
Better/alternative metrics also useful.
