I am probably slightly biased. I am an old Unix hack who has learned Perl4 
in the early 90's and was using it until 2019 when I was told that Perl 
is not an approved language in the company and that I have to learn 
Python. So I did. I was a VAX/VMS system admin and instructor from 1987 - 
1996. After 1993 I was working for a SGI distributor, using Irix. I have 
worked with HP-UX, AIX, AT&T Unix, Wyse Unix, SCO Unix and, eventually, 
Linux, among other things. I might be slightly biased against Windows.
