How about the middle ground?
Perhaps there is room in this world for More Than One Language, and perhaps the only important thing is that “the job gets done.” Python is also a very clever language, and in some ways it is extremely Lisp-like. On my computer I can type the perl command to get to one, and the python command to get to the other. Why does Perl (or Python) need an advocate or a defender? I am not in these areas of computing, but I nevertheless like both languages, know both, and in various situations choose one vs. the other. “Tools for the job,” you know, and tool boxes are pretty big. Always room for one more . . .

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
