I think you misunderstood. I like perl and would like to
have an interactive perl shell for gtk2-perl

I am not interested in  perl vs python advocacy.

Mitchell, I think you misunderstood my point - it wasn't about advocacy.

It was about automated code generation vs language features and personal
preferences WRT the features.

So, an automatically generated code for one language may look natural for
that language and the "same" (up to syntax differences) code for another
language looks unnatural and unnecessarily hardly maintainable.

Regards,
  Sergei.
