If you are an excellent programmer, you will write excellent Perl and good Python code. The Python language limits your ability to write excellent code, which also limits your ability to write horrendous code.

Great username. Where do you stand on this topic? :-)

Your vote ratio reflects the relative fewer excellent programmers to weigh in on your point.

Majority: Python is pretty, perl is line noise.

Minority: Simple isn't easy, succinct is expressive.
