Perl > Python > Ruby > Php

It's for server side scipting btw.

Here my take so far.

I kind of hate Ruby because I image it to be a bit too resource intensive.

Everybody curses Perl's syntax but so far I kind of like it actually.

Everybody praises the easiness of Python but I don't find it more readable than Perl.

Php is less versatile than Perl and Python so I figure it will be less useful for future projects.

$Perl isn't unreadable. $It's just $fuck ugly. Why would $you want $the ugliest ascii $character everywhere $in your $code.
