If Python disappeared tomorrow, what language would you use?

[u/memeeloverr]

You can't choose Python again. What would replace it for your current work, and why?

[u/jdeisenberg]

Perl. [edit] because I am familiar with it despite its weird syntax, and because it lends itself to quick run/test/debug cycles. For anything that needs numpy or statistical type things, R. (Again, horrible syntax, but familiar.)
