I always found the Perl "community" to be really off-putting with all the monk and wizard nonsense. Then there was the whole one-liner thing that was all about being clever and obscure. Everything about Python came off as being much more serious and normal for a young nerd who wasn't a theater kid.

Rubyists vs. Pythonistas isn't any better.

Programming languages as counter-cultural lifestyle choices is pretty "cringe" as the kids say.

I don't think "Pythonista" was a thing in the 2000s. Python is very old and only became more of a "fad" relatively recently.
