I used to love Python, back when it was basically just an alternative to perl for scripting. Now it strikes fear into my heart when I encounter something largish written in Python because it usually means "super slow bloated researchy untyped ai/math code that's a nightmare to work with"

Would you really feel better about the same volume of Perl code, that was also using some FFI to a heavyweight C or Fortran math library?
