perl5 needed a single switch to make it loosey-goosey anything goes otherwise have use strict and -w by default. That one decision cost the language so very much. I miss Perl. Python is what was pushed on me by employers and it's fine, it's perfectly acceptable. As is ruby and many others but I just miss Perl. I hope the Perl6/Raku folks get things happening in their tech and perception of it the way they might like. I think they deserve a break.
