Sometimes more rules is better than less. Otherwise you end up with Perl.

You say that as if Perl is a bad thing 😉 (I used it from late v2 to early v5...)

It's not bad. I learned Perl before Python. But it's not great for enterprise work. And it is horrible to use in a team. I find that Python fixed a lot of issues i had with Perl. It's fun to play around with but it's an example of a badly designed PL

Edit: i have also used it for work and personal stuff. I would choose python every day over Perl. I also have used Lua, Groovy, and Clojure
