@But That’s true I code over 10 years now in Perl and a lot in Python the last years.
Now I switched to ruby an it’s the best (for me) of the 3 languages.

Ruby > (Python + Perl).

Seriously, if you like Python, you’ll *love* Ruby.

Well, you might be true that it is individual preferences about computer languages. But we must agree that a language can be better than some other language.

And all I am saying that, according to me, Python has more merits than Perl.

You should use the language that makes you more productive and in my case it is Perl. I think that there is no such thing as “THE language for bioinformatics”.
