Is that such a big issue though ?

The default install of my dev machine (Ubuntu) installed two different versions of python and perl5, neither of which I use. Other languages have been installed indirectly because I installed one tool or another. As long as the language itself doesn't get in the way (e.g. the tool is picky about the language version and requires extra work to install it) why should I care ?



I bet you're using Python and Perl indirectly, because lots of Ubuntu's tools are written in those languages.
