I'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but...I actually really like writing Perl. It's fun, and even the documentation has character.
I also rather enjoy the excellent career in the bay area that Perl has facilitated.
As I was preparing to leave my last job, I learned Python and Ruby. (I even uploaded a gem for the latter.) I like both of those languages, and I've been toying with them for many years, but my day job has always been Perl.
It didn't seem likely that my next day job would be Perl, at least based on what I keep 'hearing'.
Strangely enough, the perfect position for me turned out to be a bike ride from home. And in Perl.
And I am quite fine with that.
