Is Python's variable system better than perl's? It depends on which
way you prefer. As for me, being a long-time veteran of perl and
Python, I don't think having a complicated variable system such as

L = [1,2,3]

def foo(my_list):
my_list = [1,2,3,4]

same result :
### Python ###
liste = [1,2,3]
def foo( my_li
