The team hated Perl in an almost religious fashion (although they never worked with nor bothered to learn it) so we settled with Python. I must say the ones pushing for it weren't exactly our best programmers. Note that I didn't have to "learn" Python. It brought nothing to the table other than a different syntax and concepts such as generators, iterators, metaclasses and list comprehensions were not new to me. Fast forward a few years and while I admit that it probably has the best ecosystem a dynamic language has to offer, I still don't see the point of Python language-wise (disclaimer: I don't factor in implementations and ecosystems when talking about programming languages).
