Perhaps you want to investigate the comparison of security/bugs situation for Perl and Python (comments anyone?). From a quick look I found this: https://www.cvedetails.com/product/18230/Python-Python.html?vendor_id=10210 vs this https://www.cvedetails.com/product/13879/Perl-Perl.html?vendor_id=1885

I would rather sail the Atlantic with a Perl-person rather than a Pythonista. Better problem-solving skills sharpened by years of being exposed to TIMTOWTDI. The concept of TIMTOWTDI also promotes tolerance to other opinions IMO.

Whenever I hear Python, I am reminded of the great Primo Levi and his short story in the Periodic Table, about sourcing Nitrogen for making lipstick. At first he went to his chicken coup but couldn't get enough, then he read that Python's poopoo contain the biggest quantity of N (urea) in the animal kingdom (citing from memory now) and thankfully a circus (zoo?) was visiting the town. So, off he goes to the snake-keeper of the circus and asks to relieve the circus from cleaning the Python's mess. The snake-keeper shows him a long list of people waiting for python poo but the cherry in the pieeopoo is that ... pythons poo just twice a year.

Enjoy the day with an one-liner.
