Funny you describe it like that, I call Python the modern day Perl, which is not always well received, but considering it is used to power so many major systems, it is arguably the Perl of today. I always mean to get more into Perl, but always find myself back in Python or C#.

I was an “advanced” Perl programmer back in the day, but now I use Python for those same tasks.

I never really enjoyed Python itself. I loved, LOVED Perl — at least when I was working with code I wrote.

I sometimes think about going back to Perl and finishing my days with it, but I haven’t pulled the trigger.
