I agree with you: If someone wants to write Perl or Java, they should feel
free to do so. In Perl or Java. I too try to keep my programs free of
exclamation points.

I resisted learning Python for far too long because the idea of using
whitespace for indenting seemed profoundly wrong. For some reason I
thought it was a conspiracy by Babylon 5-watching, Amiga-owning Ayn Rand
devotees. Once I got over that delusion, parentheses seemed like a minor
issue.
