Perl was my #1 language 1996-2004 and my answer for the period would be.. CPAN. It's easy to find great libraries for almost any language with traction nowadays

Perl was my #1 language 1996-2004 and my answer for the period would be.. CPAN. It's easy to find great libraries for almost any language with traction nowadays, but back in, say, 2000, library availability and packaging was piss poor in languages like Python or Ruby. CPAN was full of great stuff, all reasonably well documented, and, the kicker, a lot of it had tests too.
