I love the glyphs in APL, but not so much with Perl as they don't seem consistent. Like there is an "of that's an array, but you're accessing it with scalar context" or some catch. With Python, you have lists, tuples, and dictionaries. Those are data structure objects that are useful for different things. Tuples use (), lists use [], and dictionaries use {}. After you learn that, you just learn the few methods and manners to populate them and you're done. There's nothing wrong with either way of course. Both appeal to different kinds of folks.
