Same here with me. But seeing how nothing is being done in perl anymore, I am forcing myself to at least start using python3. I don't see any point in learning ruby, and all the other new languages out there are sorta still niche. There is plenty going on though with python and django (at least jobwise)

But yes, the "now there are two ways to do it" brought on by 2 and 3 really sux.

I should also say I always hated the "small" syntax changes even between the point releases. This was also something that kept me away (ruby has this problem too). Perl never had this problem, stuff written in 2001 can still run on perl of 2016. But I see now that this is a double edge sword. I have worked for several companies that run modern perl versions but refuse to touch their code base that was written like it was 1998 because it just "still works". That was another reason I started looking into python. I very much welcome complete breakage every few years at this point. It will at least force people into staying modern with the stack they use instead of becoming a 15 year old fossil with a disgusting resume. (I mean, what would you do if someone sent a resume to your dev shop that said they have only done CGI perl for the last 15 years and have no idea what javascript is or why they should learn it?)
