It all depends what you want to use it for, doesn't it? Perl is a wonderful ragbag which includes everything (kitchen sink too).

Personally, I prefer something compact, with an elegant design philosophy behind it, that can be extended gracefully, is readable and can be analyzed by tools. That includes Java but is arguable for C++. What about Smalltalk, Self, Eifel, Prolog, Lisp, Occam, M, Object Pascal, Oberon, etc?

While I might write a Web site in Perl, I'd prefer avionics and banking to be in something a little more trustworthy.
