Dueling Bozos: A Superficial Rapid-Fire Comparison of Perl and Python Adam (Perl) and Anthony (Python) will attempt to compare and contrast the Perl and Python languages through a series of alternating extremely short talks. This format will allow us to avoid unnecessary nuance, over-emphasise gross generalisations, and perpetrate unnecessary caricatures. This isn't about slamming the language or having a flame war, but is instead poking some good-natured fun at our languages of choice. But hey, it should at least be entertaining.
