my involvement with perlmonks increased from may 2008 when I saw tutorials and Q&A section.
I love to program in both Perl and python. Both are awesome languages. Java and PHP are the recent addictions. ;)


perl => common man's s‎crip‎ting language, easy to write s‎crip‎ts, minimum development time, I love CPAN 1000 yrs of man work is sitting there as modules what can you ask for more?!
python => almost a perfect s‎crip‎ting language with every feature of OOPs, amazing simplicity in syntax, elegant code style, I love python..
Java => made OOPs popular to every single developer in the world, OOPs at its best, in fact the mother of perfect OOPs, everything that is programmable is possible to be programmed using Java, when there is no urgency of delivery date, Java is the best one to go for, if not python has my vote.
PHP => born as a pure web development language but it can be used for pure s‎crip‎ting too, with PHP 5 born with full support to OOPS, it is in-fact challenging perl and python in every aspect. But if you want to develop web PHP has the vote, since most of the internet is already PHP.
