To everybody who is downvoting this, this is heights of hypocrisy and fanboy'ism.

I am just applying the same principles to Python what used to be applied to Perl.

And more importantly there is data to back up everything that I said.

I'd guess the downvotes are thanks to sloppy and/or biased dataanalysis rather than fanboyism. For one thing Perl has been dropping almost steadily for the last 7 years, Python just one.

No, there are some significant differences between the two which your commentary misses, like the fact that python3 ecosystem and the path for migration to it is far more mature than perl6's is (or likely ever will be, the way things are going.)
