Perl (sorry for sleeping before answering :-).

I've pointed the Python guy to Moose, "Perl Best Practices", etc. Didn't help. Sigh... It is sad when people don't stop the language wars garbage after turning 20. :-(

At least he didn't argue to replace the toilet paper with bills...

In my anecdotal experience, this seems to be a not totally unusual Python thing. (One True Way, etc.)

(And before someone starts arguing about that it might be motivated with a rewrite in some cases -- they guy is so new, he doesn't know the particulars for that area.)
