This is what brought me to Python (1.5)

Working on Windows servers, using the ActiveState Perl Development Kit satisfied the need for a better scripting environment than batch files, but I was a poor Perl programmer, it just never stuck.

Python solved the problem of "What the heck was I trying to do?" when looking at my own 6 month old code. It is still my primary language today.
