Hey /prog/riders, I wish to learn a new language but I can't decide which one I want. What are the pros and cons of Perl and Python, which do you prefer and why, which is more popular and what will I mostly use each language for? Thanks in advance.
This thread pertains to programming
Yes, "Science of Computer programming" is for things pertaining to programming too, are you going to go and submit this thread to the editorial board? /prog/ is in a class above /pr/, I advised you to take this thread there because it is where it belongs, regardless of whether or not it constitutes programming discussion, much like Donald Knuth would tell one of us to go back to /prog/ if we submitted a paper "On optimal random BBCode formatting generation for variable length strings" to Transactions on Algorithms.
