And, by implication, Perl is not the hottest girl in the room?

More generally it's been my experience that Python is more broadly used than Perl in the tech-heavy industries around LA.

Python is used heavily in the animation and post-production houses around Hollywood/Burbank (e.g., Dreamworks, Sony) and NumPy is popular in finance.
