If you’re interested to read something on that topic I highly recommend the essay "That's About the Size of It" by Isaac Asimov (in his book "View from a Height"). He argues that human perception of animal size is s

I loved Perl and all the obscurity. It felt like black magic back then. It should have become what python is today.

That’s a very valid question. However, I’m not sure why an immigration attorney would be able to answer it.

It’s easy to be a pessimist. Most things don’t work. So in 9 out of 10 cases you’re right. But human breakthrough progress came mostly through optimists, who tried things no one else dared to do.
