Hmmm... I've just looked over the recently announced Python language. It looks very clean and simple, yet powerful. I like it. Once I looked at the Python libraries, I saw how a four line program will do a yearly calendar for me: #!/bin/python import time import calendar calendar.prcal((calendar.localtime(time.time()))[0]) Did you ever notice how a bit Perl program has a lot of dollar-signs in it? Kind of visually noisy, huh? One thing, why hasn't someone done a "calendar.pl" or "time.pl" for Perl? #!/bin/perl require 'calendar.pl'; &calendar((localtime(time))[5]); By the way, I like and use Perl, too!
