We have this discussion far too often. The consensus is FIOC > Ruby > Perl/PHP.

You've got that quite backwards I'm afraid.

Seriously any language with Nazi-like restrictions about code indentation isn't worth the time or effort to learn.

Worse is the mentality of the communities wherein they espouse "The Ruby Way®" or "The Python Way®". Boy, that closed-minded dogma sure tastes good, mmm mmmm mmm, good.

Seriously there is never one single best approach to any problem in life or in programming. The dogmatic One Best Way approach serves only stifle creative thinking by forcing structure down people's throats.

This idea that all approaches are equally valid is at least as harmful as the belief that Python is in any way Nazi-like about indentation. If you don't want to use any, you don't have to.

The only reason anyone uses Perl is that they learned it back when it was the only option, and now pretend that nothing else could possibly be better because they're no longer confident that they could learn anything else. Or, of course, because they stupidly took advice from these people.

Perl is powerful and has it's place. For scripting, it's wonderful. No other language can beat it's regex.

For anything that needs objects, Ruby/Python are better.

Common Lisp. I'm not sure if CL is closer to Python or Ruby. They're both fairly dynamic, but neither approaches the real power of a complete Lisp implementation.

If I was forced to use one or the other, I'd go with Python for most cases, and maybe Ruby for the rest.

Except for the fact that every language with regex libraries nowadays has PCREs too, and doesn't have to deal with the enormous amount of shit surrounding them.

I don't think you even know anything about programming languages.

I meant as far as scripting is concerned obviously.

I don't you even know anything about programming languages. Don't know about you, but I do Softare Engineering for a living.

Perl is the only answer to life's problems. You hipsters better recognize.

I wouldn't call distracting you from your original problems with more problems to be an answer in any real sense.

Real Perl programmers can solve all those additional problems plus the original effortlessly in a single eruption of modem line noise. After that an artful comedy in C# is rendered, as though valid, by the Perl VM in vibrant technicolor for your entertainment. Refreshments will be served after the show. Please drink and drive responsibly.

True Believer spotted.

Care to explain how finding different solutions to problems is harmful?

Good thing it's not or we'd still be banging rocks together trying to make fire.

Why don't you explain why you think there's value in having a million alternative syntaxes for the exact same thing.
Perl is an attempt at transporting the ambiguities of natural language to programming, but Wall never realised that the reason natural language has a lot of those ambiguities is precisely because sometimes people want to be ambiguous in their speec, while this is never the case in programming.

It's always funny when Perl users accuse others of being True Believers. I wonder if COBOL programmers were like this in the '80s.
