I work in Python for my day job. Every day I use PyPi, the third-party
package repository, and every time I do I miss CPAN. Sure, there was a lot
of crap in CPAN but the repository itself was well organized. And Python's
testing framework has finally gotten OK-ish, but Perl always had good test
facilities.
I quite like the idea of "what musician is your favorite programming
language?" Perl is Captain Beefheart, maybe? Weird, eclectic, brilliant,
frequently incomprehensible? Java is definitely Coldplay: it's corporate
rock. It's fine. PHP is Nickelback.
