.. but - as *any* regex - can be improved:
s/\b(perl|java|vba?|c(#|\+\+|)?)/python/gi

I *really* like this one.
Only problem is, you have to be a sci-fi head to get it: No problem
for me: I've been reading Arthur C. Clarke since I was 8 years old.

We ought to at least use Python for this
re.sub(r"(?i)\b(perl|java|vba?|c(#|\+\+|)?)", "python")
>>> import re
>>> s = "vba vb perl java vba vb c# c c++"
>>> re.sub(r"(?i)\b(perl|java|vba?|c(#|\+\+)?)", "python", s)
'python python python python python python python python python'

I once tried out "Wrap Python around your problem and crush it!"
Yours is shorter though.

Brilliant. I'd wear that one on a T-shirt, too.
Actually, I'd probably get a big tattoo with both of 'em, and stop
wearing T-shirts...

I'd like to suggest that someone make a collection of these
slogans and put them in the Python Wiki or the Python Web site.
Wasn't there a slogan contest at Python 10? What happened to that
list of slogans?
By the way, at one time I found a set of Python icons that could
be freely used, for example on Web sites. Is that still
available? I couldn't find it. If it still exists, perhaps the
list of Python slogans could be placed next to that (for some
meaning of "next to" that makes sense on the Web).

Reminds me of some sentence of mine if a different
context (long thread about some work which didn't happen)
"less words, more code"

You could always go for the classic variant on Clarke's statement:
"Any technology distinguishable from Python is insufficiently advanced"

Hehe, Simon, thanks for that one! It made me laugh aloud :-)
But seriously, I don't think it is well suited for a slogan.
In my opinion, you should only speak about your own product
(python) and not about other people's products (in a negative
way). So slogan-wise, I like the original variation better.

I've got to say that BJVE actually has a point here. If there's one
thing about the Python community that I've found perturbing, it's the
attitude that "Perl is evil".
Perl has many flaws, and I'm very glad I've done a s/Perl/Python/ in
my own life, but Perl has been a useful tool and continues to be one
of the main drivers of open source acceptance. Antagonism towards Perl
just makes us look like cranks.
I'm all in favor of Python advocacy, but I much prefer conversion by
example rather than sword.
The other implication of BJVE's post is that Microsoft is the
enemy. I'll save that for a different post...
