It's a bit like with JS being syntactically like Java, but internally close to Perl.

Perl having more C syntax than Python doesn't mean they are semantically very different.

We could also quote Guido who said something like "from a 10 km above perspective Perl and Python are the same language"° in a PyCon talk.

Interesting sentiments in the talk linked above. I have been learning about functions in Python. I personally prefer subroutines used by Perl. Python calls the main function in a rather strange way..... It looks like an afterthought. Do any monks have thoughts on this?	[reply]
