No, not at all. I love perl. I tried learning python and can do a lot with
it for practical reasons. I don't care and do not have any preference.
Whatever is needed I do it according the requirements. It's just business.
I just shared my observations. Younger developers pretend to know much and
write sh*t code. A lot of India guys as well :D

Yes in some cases they are preferable. My point was if you tolerate it, you
end up sorting out newbies mess - KDE mainstream is a good example of that
(and so are many other projects)
We used python for prototyping and then one came up with the idea to
compile, sign and sell the binary code - works great.
