Anecdotally, I've been surprised lately at the number of standalone applications that show up on Debian-testing I've seen written in Python. (Used to be pretty much just sketch and Zope.) Haven't seen too much new stuff in Perl. I could be biased. Still don't know whether labeling something as written in Python is intended to be a "badge of honor" or "advance warning".
