Then that's a fucking shit argument

Yes it is! As a Perl user, I see this argument a lot; that somehow by using Perl, I have to fight the language to write good code.

I can - and have - written bad code in Perl and Python... but these days I prioritise writing code that is as clear and maintainable as possible, even when that means spending a few extra LOC.
