The error in your reasoning occured when you likened computer
programmers to lemming-like consumers who do what everyone
else is doing. Since Perl has always had a vastly larger
presence than Python, but Python is growing in spite of this,
your analogy seems even further mistaken. Two strikes.......

But the real question is will Python ever really become a
mainstream language. Good question! Time will tell...
