I might as easily have said Erlang... I don't participate in mailing lists but the Perl Monks have always been very helpful and patient when I've had a question, from the most basic to the more complex. The only time I got into trouble there was when I asked a question about optimizing a mailing list, and a large chunk of the audience thought I was trying to spam people. The fact that people do go there and ask "hey, how can I use perl to spam people" didn't help much... Anyway, I was eventually forgiven, with the help of a Monty Python quotation and some closely-worded arguments :)
