I miss Perl. It has everything I like in a language. Mystic runes that do really complex things with just 1 extra character of code. Switch between procedural, OO, and functional programming anywhere. Rewrite the language itself if you feel like it. C/ASM extensions for speed. Reusable, inheritable, extendable modules rather than quirkily-named modules that nobody can build on top of. Extremely thorough warnings, errors, debugging, and documentation. Hybrid and duck typing. First-class regex support. One-liner conveniences. But an entire generation never really learned the language, and subsequently churned out dog vomit that looked like Perl syntax, so the whole language became a pariah. But I have at least 10x the productivity with Perl compared to any other language.
