Oh man, I remember hating to program Perl. With Perl, there wasn't just one way to do things, but there were 10, and all of those involved different combinations of @{} $[] [#] '%' characters put in seemingly random order and changing completely the context on which they operated, with the logic only clear to those who somehow understood the connection between these symbols and their meaning.
Maybe it didn't win because the language syntax was just a mess, and same variables just in different contexts could mean like 3 different things depending on what way you pass them, what you you return them and what kind of random character is in front of them.
Don't take this personally, just ranting out my feelings for the Perl programming language, and glad that it isn't one of the things I have to know anymore! Good riddance!
