Do you prefer Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, or PHP?

PHP. I use it much more regularly than the others.

PHP. I use it much more regularly than the others.

I wrote a Rot13 thing in Perl and Python today. I like the Perl solution a lot more. I need to look at Python's regex module though because I don't think it has tr and using a bunch of if statements inside of a loop isn't very nice.

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Enter message to be encoded or decoded: ";
$message = <STDIN>;
chop($message);
$message =~ tr/A-Za-z/N-ZA-Mn-za-m/;
print "Your message is: \n \n";
print "$message\n";

#!/usr/bin/python
rot13 = input("Enter the message to be encoded or decoded: ")
rot13b = ''
for let in rot13:
   if ord(let) < 65:
       rot13b += let
   elif ord(let)<=77:
       rot13b += chr(ord(let)+13)
   elif ord(let)<=90:
       rot13b += chr(ord(let)-13)
   elif ord(let)<=109:
       rot13b += chr(ord(let)+13)
   elif ord(let)<=122:
       rot13b += chr(ord(let)-13)
   else:
       rot13b+= let           
print("Your encoded message is:\n\n %s"%rot13b)

p.s. the css on this theme makes the code tag fugly

Same answer for the same reason.
I've never used any of the others yet, actually.

What theme?

[…]

I'm starting to doubt the validity of the topic creator and his thread title.

And I don't use any of those so I don't have a preference.

Python is friendly. I was trying to teach myself it at one point bet then I lost interest...
