Okay, maybe you're right ... Where I come from almost everyone
knows some (enough) Python whereas Perl is much more
old-school coolness. But granted I don't come from all places.
But I still think I'm right, don't people say for example LAMP
- Linux Apache MySQL Perl, nowadays Python, mostly?
Isn't it much more in use?
And "My" is a Swedish name, not an English possessive pronoun,
and SQL is pronounced "seekwell" :)
Okay, my school isn't old school but it is getting there ...
