I use Python over Perl because I'm more productive, and my code is more
maintainable.  As an added bonus, I don't have code that looks like comic
characters swearing.

Java is newer than Python.  In fact, so is PHP, C#, Ruby, and D.  In fact,
Perl is not a lot older than Python.  I'd hardly call a 16 year old
language new and shiny.
