Re: FFS
They are functionally equivalent, and it doesn't take much longer to do a job in one or the other.
But Python has masses of modern open-source libraries that Perl doesn't. Where are the supported Perl equivalents of TensorFlow, Pandas, Numpy, PyTorch, Keras and Matplotlib?
And Python code is maintainable because you can find someone to maintain it - college and university computer science departments teach it, so loads of people are experienced in it. On the other hand, most Perl programmers are retired.
