in thread Migrating from Perl to other language? Why would someone do that?

  • Is Python as good as Perl?
  • Are you going to become as productive programming in Python as you are now in Perl?
  • Are you going to like it?

I have tried several times to like Python, and failed every single one... I missed the expressiveness and conciseness of Perl all the time... and then there are the scoping issues!!!

    Same with me...

    > scoping issues!!!

    And castrated lamdas!

    And the fact the larger installations seem to need multiple python versions installed in parallel.

    While Perl cares to run 20 year old P4 code, others don't seem to care much about backwards compatibility.

    Furthermore pypi which is mess compared to cpan.
