I could be happy using either just a nice Lisp or Perl the rest of my life. (Perl do look more likely, since e.g. the last time I checked the Lisps I didn't even find good Unicode support, etc.) But you didn't expect a serious answer. You've written five(!) troll comments in this discussion -- as of now, total comments are 28. The last four trolls in 12 minutes. In short: You're a complete drag on HN signal-to-noise and give pathetic waste-of-air language war trolls a bad name. (All complex language environments have duct tape and baggage. And... ah, why feed the stinking trolls?)
