Re: Perl VS Python

Not exactly a reply to your post

Perl has become like a religion to me(3.5 years of meditation).
But the fact is, for one of the product that I am going to support/maintain/upgrade it uses python heavily, so I must learn python
I saw some nodes telling about 'perl vs python', perl advocacy here and in some other places like here, here, here, etc
It is a hard fact to digest that I should know this language to sustain as a developer

UPDATE
Interesting one jython
