Another thing is the attitude of the community built around the
language.  For me that very subjective sense is why I still use Perl
and am enthusiastic about Ruby but am neutral to negative about Python.
All three languages are powerful and have a lot in common.

A person's choice of language may say as much about the person as the 
language :-)
