You do realize that you just opened one of the longest, loudest and most
inherently beer inducing arguments known to man since Emacs vs Vi?
(answer: Joe) So why not! I use Python. I love Python. Although I
guarantee you that others will say ruby, perl, java (well maybe not
java).
The answer to your question is:
Use what works for you.
I used PHP for years, I actually used Perl before PHP but got tired of
the Perl oddness. I moved on to Python and love it. There are things in
it I don't like (just see subprocess) but for the most part, its
gorgeous.
