sick of perl

Name: Anonymous 2012-11-18 0:15

im old as fuck and ive been using perl for way too long. since perl effectively has no future, which scripting language should I learn to stay modern? I've dabbled in python and haskell a little bit but i don't like FIOC and non c-style syntax. i've also written some ruby in the past and i find it slow and shitty. what do?

OP here

i've been experimenting with using lua for cgi scripts and it works pretty well as a perl replacement. the code is shorter, cleaner, runs faster, and the only real drawback is the lack of  a huge module library like CPAN, but real programmers don't need that shit anyway
