It drives me crazy when the program stops working after modifying source code in another editor just because it changed the code formatting.<BR/>But I like a very smart sentence by <A HREF="http://damienkatz.net/2008/03/what_sucks_abou.html" REL="nofollow">Damien Katz</A>: "There are the languages everyone complains about, and there are the languages no one uses".kklishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518001329895236884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635587370432045273.post-65210655828600602062008-09-28T03:51:00.000+02:002008-09-28T03:51:00.000+02:00I Don't see any difference between Python and Ruby...I Don't see any difference between Python and Ruby, At the moment both are awful for concurrency. There is Jython it is Python over Java and soon it will reach the 2.5 release, There is stackless python, there is PyPy project that it will get python to the next level.<BR/><BR/>Python is very capable and have better performance now even than Ruby at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Regards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154022780786091493noreply@blogger.com
