Sure. Python. Two scripts stoped working for me recently, I just have re-written them in Go... I see no point of using Python anymore...

It is the opposite of my experience with Perl. I used to write some scripts in Perl just for fun long after Perl got stucked.

Yeah I'm in the same boat here. Go has become my go to instead of python. For me the packaging/package management side of python has become messy and really detracts from the whole developer experience.

Same for me, Python has been replaced with Go. I got tired of messing around with virtualenvs and pip.

Same here, got sick of the shouty all-caps deprecation warnings that come along oh so regularly.
