I feel exactly the same.
Perl is a more expressive more fun language, but I do find that the more restrictive nature of Python leads to me writing better, if a bit more verbose code (better as in more readable and maintainable). I would start something in Perl using a few fancy tricks, then come to hate my "clever idea" a few days later when trying to debug it. I do miss it though.
- cwalv 3y agoI know a lot of folks who feel the same way about python (it's too dynamic and encourages unmaintainable code). It's a continuum; to me it's amazing how well python hit the sweet spot.
