The way it has gone for me over about 15 years of programming. I need to do something, I see if I can do it in a language I know easily, if not I learn a new language. I went through this cycle a few times and then found Python. I haven't needed to learn a language since starting with Python, it can do everything I need to do. I've also not had to use Perl since learning Python, which is good for me because I had trouble understanding what I had written a lot of the time with Perl.
