I fell in love with Perl a couple of years ago, until I learned
Python, which can do everything Perl can, and has the advantage of
being readable.  Any time I want to use Tcl/Tk, I just use the Python
interface to it.

If you like Perl or Tcl, check out Python (www.python.org), as you'll
probably be pleasently surprised.
