VMs eat too much resources for little things. it is fine if it's enterprise app, but for a small website it's overkill. thats why php rocks. not because it's a language to fall in love with, but because it makes webhosting business a reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966820.post-48073934387732728792007-06-27T09:30:00.000-04:002007-06-27T09:30:00.000-04:00If the python tab thing really bothers you--try wh...If the python tab thing really bothers you--try whitespace ;-)<BR/><BR/>But seriously, the python tabs things is a poor reason to dismiss python since anyone that knows python knows it is essentially a non-reason. In fact, I think it leads to one of python's strengths--readability. I'm learning groovy currently. At the risk of prematurely judging groovy, I'm guessing it will be mildly to moderately less readable than python. Perhaps what groovy lacks in readability it will make up for in conciseness.Clark Updikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749271058929226616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966820.post-54724661968426555182007-06-26T18:53:00.000-04:002007-06-26T18:53:00.000-04:00I'm not sure I agree with your logic. Things move ...I'm not sure I agree with your logic. <BR/><BR/><I>Things move to fast to play just one pipe</I><BR/><BR/>That I agree with. The way you got there sounds a little like "cargo cult"ing. (I say at the risk of sounding like I'm "cargo cult"ing Dave Thomas, fresh from RailsConf) I think your filter should be more representative of the work your doing or the work want to do, and adapt as needed. Agile, if you will.<BR/><BR/>For me, and I've come from a Perl background and currently working with Ruby/Rails, the biggest things on my radar are Deployment and Scalability. So now I'm taking the time to learn about Java, and it's culture, and Erlang. Do I think I'll ever be a Java or Erlang nut? But I'm expanding my skill set, and cross-pollinating ideas. Probably not. And when Perl 6 goes gold, I'll probably do a little of that.<BR/><BR/>In five to ten years, some other new way to interface with technology will be out and force me to adapt in a different way. What will I do? Maybe learn a new programming language to keep up with those dang teenagers... maybe I'll become a cook. :)<BR/><BR/>Hope this doesn't come off as stupid...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
