Who knows, 2015 may also be the year of the linux desktop, unless HURD is also ready for prime time.

I used to be pretty good at perl, and wrote some pretty awesome (if I do say so myself) scripts using it. But while I had huge respect for it, I can't say I ever liked it. Even after a year I had the camel book within arms reach, and when I had to work on a co-workers script I spent too much time figuring out what it was doing and how it was doing it.
There's a reason it's called executable line noise.

The perl motto is TMTOWTDI - There's More Than One Way To Do It. For example, use python. Or use ruby. Or use java. I guess if you're really desperate, you could even use perl.
