I tried Python, as a procedural > language, and like it a lot. Forth! I loved that language. It is brilliant. But that was 20 years ago. Chuck Moore is a genius. http://www.colorforth.com/ He even designed his own chips to run the language. A friend of mine built his own retro computer out of TTL that ran Forth. Forth works much faster with a different CPU architecture (separate stack and data buses). http://www.holmea.demon.co.uk/Mk1/Architecture.htm Python is way cleaner than Perl. But Ruby is the way to salvation for Perl programmers isn't it? Not Python.
