“I don’t use Perl. In fact, I don’t do a lot of server-side
scripting. But I’m about to, and when I do, it’s more likely to be
with Python than with Perl. Python is the most elegant, powerful
scripting language for the Web that you’ll probably never use.”
“Those who know me and my programming predilections will hardly
bat an eye to find I am not a big fan of Perl for two huge reasons:
its lack of object orientation and its sparse (and, for me,
unreadable) syntax.”
“Python is a fully object-oriented, server-side scripting
language with an eminently readable syntax.”
“Python is eminently more readable than Perl, at least by
convention, and its inherent support for objects sets it apart from
the other server-side scripting languages.”
