Everyone should use the language of their choice. That said, looking over the code, I understand why Perl became popular as a shell replacement.

We live in a fruitful age for programming. There are many viable languages. Some have notation that is more difficult, perhaps, but humans are good at notation and there is no such thing as "easy" programming.

That said, any language that offers portability and stability that can be measured in _decades_ has a distinct advantage.
