I don't remember a tiobe index for the month starting with WTF? I don't 
know if I buy the theory that someone finally drove a stake through Raku's 
heart. Only Hurd has been a bad joke longer than Perl 6.

At this point I can't remember why I switched to Python. Maybe because 
Esri started using it as a scripting language? I did like the DBI concept 
and it doesn't have some of the annoying Python formatting quirks. However 
it had a bushel of its own quirks. I only have a passing familiarity with 
sed, awk, and some of the other stuff Wall rolled into the language.
