Python vs. Perl, which is better to learn?

[François Pinard]

[Christopher Browne]

> PL/1 was certainly pegged as the successor to both COBOL and FORTRAN;

And of Algol-60, simulation languages, and a few others, with an interface
giving more access to the underlying operating system than usual in that era.
It was a common joke at the time that PL/I enthusiasts all had dilated eyes,
nervous addicted bodies, and were repeating "More... more..." to no end! :-)
