@paoloredaelli @wollman @rubenerd @dexter Reading the original post, it kind of alienated me, but the reason wasn't #perl but #CGI. There's nothing wrong with #perl at all (although now I wonder, I didn't see it used on the #web #backend for quite a while, is there actually a *SANE* integration with web servers available, that doesn't require forking a process for each and every request?)

I'll never get how people come to think #python could be the "modern replacement". A language that makes whitespace syntactically relevant already failed every sanity check. And it kind of proves that by incorporating exceptions in normal control flow. screw that nonsense.
