perl user since 1995, still learning (naturally).
Favorite Larry Wall quote (seen on the perlunicode mail list on May 10, 2004):
Perl's always been about providing reasonable defaults, and will continue to do so. But changing what's reasonable is tricky, and sometimes you have to go through a period in which nothing can be considered reasonable.
