in reply to Perl vs Python revisited

still the teachers quips about me already being old for using perl bothered me quite a bit

Why would this bother you? I'd be half tempted to do a couple of assignments in Perl as well just to demonstrate how fantastic it is.

Which O/S is the teacher/class using?

    That's the fun part. Everything is done under linux, specifically alpine linux which comes without python preinstalled (at least in it's docker image). What I did find bothersome is what I perceived as a dismissive attitude toward a perfectly valid choice for scripting/administration purposes.
