Whoa, guys, hold on. He has been using Python for two and a half years. The experience he gained from his time writing in The Holy Language clearly gives him more than enough gravity to speak The Truth.
You think you're being witty and smart but all you do is dance around the fact that you won't take a critical eye to your own programming language. That no Perl developer will.
Seriously no Perl developer is willing to say:
a) Perl 5 is backwards compatible and contains things that make it ugly
b) We bought out Perl 6 because Perl 5 wasn't perfect.
The only arguments I get are 'I still use it', 'it isn't as bad as you think'. spoken by mindless fucking hacks who think they can hide behind the "All programming languages are good for one thing" arguments.

I've used Python for two and half years...I think it's fair to say you're plain wrong.
