And I hate cars because some people drive too slow (too fast). If you step into a flame war, at least bring dry powder, will you?

A feature of perl is "write only" regular expressions.
A feature of python is "significant white space" (learned to love that in fortran and in Makefiles).

Choose your poison with great consideration.

Perl4 forever!
