Well if we are to really talk about trends, job postings and new projects. It makes zero sense to use or learn Python. Learn Go, Scala or may be even Clojure Python is no longer trending, it was around 3 years back. Its not now. I don't see any compelling reason to learn a language that is on the decline and losing ground consistently to newer set of languages. Purely speaking on popularity, fame and other such metrics. Also by that definition, don't even get into this 'should I learn language X or Y' business. Learn whatever the new and famous tool is and throw away the old tool But if you are not on that end, but you want to learn and use the right tool for the job. You won't even need an answer to language X or language Y. You would know which one to use and why. Either way I don't think Perl's glory days will be back, unless Perl 6 is out.
