If you didn't consider to change the language you prefer it means that =
you are closed minded and use to fell in love with the tools you use.
Don't make me tell here how many things I don't like in Perl.
I use to tell those things on Perl mailing lists and make upset their =
members. :-)

Similarly, if you don't like something in Perl, why don't you tell them =
what you don't like to the Perl programmers community and not just have =
the guts to tell that in a group where the majority share your =
preferences.
I came here on the list to find good things about Python and to learn =
some things and use its good parts, and not to hear bashing about other =
programming languages.
