#These are basic and most-used operations when I program.

##Super Simple If Boolean Statement

#Perl
if($awesome)
{
     dance();
     sleep();
}

#Python

if awesome:
   dance()
   sleep()

#Comments : Look at the absence of braces and semicolons. Coming from C & PHP background, the first time I saw this I thought this was magic.

##Simple Loop

#Perl
for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
{
    do_something($i);
    do_another_thing($i);
}

#Python
for i in range(100):
    do_something(i)
    do_another_thing(i)


#Comments : I can't see why you need three different loop statements, braces, and semicolons just to run a simple loop...

## Multiple If Conditions

#Perl
if($seat != 'front_seat' && $today == 'friday')
{
    get_down();
}

#Python

if seat not 'front_seat' and today is 'friday':
   get_down()

#Comments : Wow. Look how much English is there. I like.

##If Within If Within If statements (IFCEPTION)

#Python

if condition_one:
   do_first_thing()
  
   if condition_two:
      do_second_thing()

      if condition_three:
          do_third_thing()

#Comments : Simple and to-the-point.

#Perl
if($condition_one)
{
    do_first_thing();

    if($condition_two)
    {  
         do_second_thing();

         if($condition_three)
         {
              do_third_thing();
         }
    }
} 
#Comments : Look at all of these closing brackets and semicolons I have to take care of! How is this not extraneous? 
#It seemed natural to me when I didn't know Python yet, 
#but now when I compare both of them, 
#this is totally extraneous.
#Usually when your code gets too deep like this, it's best to refactor it anyway. 
#But Python definitely makes it more bearable for me at times like this.
