in thread I want you to convince me to learn Perl
I'm also a fan of Perl over Python, and I come to it from literature, so I'm actually even a fan of implicit contexts - but saying that said contexts make Perl less error-prone really doesn't match my experience or anything I've seen. It can make it less verbose for some things once you understand contexts deeply.
Also, given the decisions made in Perl 6 about sigil invariance, it seems pretty clear that the overall drift of the language is away from heavy use of implicit context to determine what code does.
