Perl or python?

Name: Anonymous 2010-02-08 14:31

I can't decide which one I want to use ....

I need a new scripting language that I can use for general purpose coding, C/C++ is for my bigger projects, and PHP just wont cut it any more. And let's not speak about Java, it's a horrible language (just don't like it, no reason needed)

I think the best thing to do is to buy 2 books, one on Perl and one on Python, and try them both.

Anyone have any thoughts about any of them that would help me in my decision? ; )

Rails lets you do a full commercial application in 500 lines of code, but every line requires 10 minutes of researching unclear documentation, outdated blogs, and getting insulted on their IRC channel.
