Maybe too many clever ideas, but in the real world we evaluate a language for how is to use when you follow the coding standards etc. There really might be an initial extra cost of some work days, but unlike most people on HN I don't really know... :-) Anyway, you can make a good argument for Perl with the best OO (Moose) of the scripting languages, CPAN (+ Testers, so it works), etc. But please, no more of these language wars, it makes for really boring reading to e.g. see the same arguments whenever Perl is mentioned.
