Perl vs Python

EXTERIOR: DAGOBAH--DAY
With Yoda strapped to his back, Luke climbs up one of the
many thick vines that grow in the swamp until he reaches the
Dagobah statistics lab. Panting heavily, he continues his
exercises--grepping, installing new packages, logging in as
root, and writing replacements for two-year-old shell scripts
in Python.

YODA: Code! Yes. A programmer's strength flows from code maintainability. But beware of Perl. Terse syntax... more than one way to do it... default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

LUKE: Is Perl better than Python?

YODA: No... no... no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

LUKE: But how will I know why Python is better than Perl?

YODA: You will know. When your code you try to read six months from now.

Did you think NASCAR needed to throw that caution flag at the end because other drivers did not think there was enough cause to throw the yellow flag? "I saw a wrecked truck I don’t know how big of a piece of debris you need, but I would think a whole truck would classify as one. Maybe they were looking for smaller pieces. I don’t know and I wasn’t the one that threw the caution. That was their gripe, but it sure made a great event for the fans in the grandstands and everyone watching on television.
