Python only postdates Perl by 3 years.

Perl5 - which is what people refer to as "perl" - came out in 1994.

Python3, which is incompatable with python2, came out in 2008.

Way to move the goal posts into separate area codes.

If you're going to judge python by python3 you should at least hold perl to 5.020
