Hell, if python is good enough for Google, it's certainly good enough for me. I almost like it as much as perl.

Never did anything with python.
The thing with PERL is that it's not a passing fancy like so much other stuff
that came out in the last 10 years so it's always going to work on webservers.
I don't want to develope a site with something and then down the road it becomes out
of fancy and the hosting companies don't want to deal with it anymore and then I'm stuck
redoing it in some other languge.
There was a time when you had to find a host that had php; some hosting people back
then just blew you off and wouldn't install php.
They probably blew themselves out of business that way.
The only advantage I have seen in new programming languages is that they make some
functions easier to program. But if you've written as much code as I have then I
just copy and paste and it's faster for me that way.
To the user/surfer it doesn't make a damn what kind of script is running on the server
so it's all about how the programmer likes to do things really.
