Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that Python sucks for quick one-off hacks that process badly-specified, broken files. It can be done, and I've put up with it for years, but I'm tired of importing this and that and using long sanely-named methods just to do what Perl does with a simple <> or =~ or whatever.
I wouldn't dream of using this mess of a language for anything else, though. Hopefully I don't change my mind about that.

imo
python's power: pygtk opencv cython and tons of others
perl's power: CPAN
ps: i may be wrong, i am not python or perl programmer not even newbie, just writing some python time to time.

Why on earth do you feel compelled to express your opinion about things you admit knowing next to nothing about? Do you feel that people are interested in your uninformed opinions, or are you just typing to keep yourself warm?

That's true, and that's why I wanted to learn it too.

Ruby is the new Perl, just FYI. And it's faster than Python according to the latest benchmarks.

I learned Ruby in 2003 and used it regularly until I decided I hated it, and started using Python instead. Not going back there, with all the clueless hipsters now making up most of its `community' since that `Rails' incident. Also, CPAN.
If Ruby is indeed faster than Python these days, I'm quite impressed. Back in 2004 or something, I occasionally had no choice but to disable Ruby GC for some loops because it was so mindbogglingly inefficient.
I don't really care about "communities" when it comes to what software I use. I don't plan on hanging out with any of the "Ruby hipsters" any time soon and I'm not the type of person who barges into random IRC channels saying "someone fix my code lol."
IMO Ruby is a good language for ex-Perl users since it has good string handling and pattern matching compared to python and it doesn't have annoyances like FIOC. I haven't done anything with Rails so I can't say anything about that, but plain old Ruby's been a good Perl replacement in the few years I've been using it.
>>17 I don't really care about "communities" when it comes to what software I use.
It was quite obvious you were going to say that. Neither do I, when it comes to languages like C, but for things such as Perl, they're crucial. When you need to do x, there's probably a working solution in CPAN ready to be shoehorned into your silly little `program'.
I don't get it. Why do you have to learn it? Type whatever special character you want and you have a Perl program.

That's how I'm doing it, but I still need to figure out which character does what.

It will take a long time for perl to die out, if it ever does. Shitty POSIX stuff has a tendency to stick around for decades, even if the only people who use it are bearded hermit wizards living in caves.

It's far beyond the point of immortality already.

Worse is better, for better or worse.
>>4 OP and faggot have an ``isa'' relationship. If op==faggot, then faggot==OP, meaning every faggot in the universe is OP. Of course, OP could be a faggot just as well as you could be a faggot with you and OP being the same or equal. The correct code for testing for faggotry would be the following:
if not isinstance(you, faggot):
print "fuck python read sicp"

Not pythonic. If you walk() like a faggot and swim() like a faggot and quack() like a faggot, you're a faggot.

wtf you don't need a book to learn perl i just picked up a tutorial and started writing useful programs for my work at the second day. of course learning to do more than just text processing took a little longer but maybe perl is not the right tool for your job.

Welcome to /prog/!
since /prog/ runs on shiitchan, sometimes the updated version is not displayed. Don't dismay, your post isn't gone!
Many browsers feature a cache ignoring force refresh, which can correct this. CTRL-F5 is the keyboard command for this on browsers such as firefox and internet explorer.
I do not know the command for someone using abaco or lynx but there should be a way there as well.

wtf you don't need a computer to see beutiful graphics i just picked some mushrooms from the ground and started tripping in my work at the second. of course wanting more than just ṕretty colors took a little longer but maybe allucinating is not the right kind of recreational drug use for you.
I read the Documentation and published on my website.
I Recommend for you learn Perl, because is a great prog lang.
My site contains links and information, but only in Portuguese.

Parce que les seuls pays où l'on parle le français sont la France et le Canada, évidemment. Et il n'en est pas question qu'un francophone vive dans un pays où l'on ne parle pas le français, et il n'en est absolument pas question que ledit francophone soit plurilingue.
