Perl came off as mature and substantive, Python came off as ideological and shallow.
-
Python is my first language and Perl is my second language.
-
I'm sorry Trish.
-
Oh my god that woman annoys me
-

-
@frepkin yet still gary mckinnon used perl to hack in to NASA & PENTAGON you know the story US Military
-
Perl is American, and Python is British. Right?
-
Peter Scott.....respect.
-
hmm....Peter Scott says " I am here to praise Python"....That seems to be the motto of most Perl guys..... Perl guys seem to be ok with Python...Many Python guys seem to be on a "I dont like Perl" trip. In my very narrow visioned, untrained view (which can be completely dissed out of the window), Perl developed as a response to a need for text processing, whereas Python seems to be developed allmost as an antithesis to Perl......Zen Of Python allmost confirms that.

So who is winning? By that I mean which classes and certificates at O'Rielly have more student enrollment?

Trish here. Perhaps in the spirit of Perl I should have reduced the syllables of my introduction to minimize mass YouTube backlash: "Perl. Python. Debate. Go." Or maybe I should have coded in droll silence instead of moderating?
The whole point of this debate was to be silly and make dumb little comments that aren't needed - just like YouTube. Go ahead, be irritated if you can't use the skip button. But if you judge how much I know based on one video, you obviously know very little about me.

I have no problem with the host. If you are going to comment, focus on the message not the messenger, though I know I shouldn't expect much given the state of YouTube comments.
