I wrote a few programs in perl that I thought were quite nice.  I loved 
the flexibility and powerful expressions.  But then when I went back to 
those programs several months later, I couldn't (easily) figure out what 
I did.  That was enough to turn me off of perl.

What I like most about Python is how many times the best way to solve a 
problem turns out to be how I thought of doing it in the first place.

For example, instead of using index's and arrays and defining structures 
for handling data, I can usually just iterate through a list of stuff 
and make changes as I go. Which is most likely how .... see above. ;-)
