Huh?

My post was in reply to someone suggesting BASIC, and you are dissing Perl
instead?

I certainly hope it's only because you are taking time to carefully
compose a message detailing all the reasons why BASIC in any shape is bad
:-)

Really, so many good things can be done quickly and easily in Perl, and it
is way more popular than Python.

Python might have had a chance to catch on if it hadn't been for the use
of indents rather than brackets. As it stands, it is doomed to always be a
niche language like FORTH.

Cheers,

Bob
