Re: [SEAPY] Ever had the needed to write Ruby code from Python

2011-05-28 Thread Kevin LaTona

Let's turn the conversation in a new direction here.


If you were in a room for an evening with 100 other Seattle Python,  
Perl and Ruby users.


And that is evenly split amongst these 3 languages.


What would you want to explore, talk about or compare between these 3  
languages?




At this point I have a pre-agreement for such a room ( they waiting  
for more details before a final commitment )


Now is there enough interest in Seattle to get together and have such  
a conversation?




I for one would like to talk about web based server infrastructures  
including front to back ends.


Given that it seems all 3 languages are always borrowing each others  
ideas on the topic?


And the ever growing cloud where we all are slamming into each other  
all the time.



Any thoughts on the idea here my follow SeaPig members?

Do you have any other ideas or ?

-Kevin

It might be interesting to ask what's one library that doesn't exist
for your favorite language, that you wish did exist?  Then see if we
find that the library exists in one of those languages but not some
other.

I'd like to see a raise of hands survey to figure out which problem domains / 
business sectors they were using each of them in.  Years of use, use if one, 
two or three of them would be interesting survey questions.  The survey theme 
could be carried farther without being a waste of time I think.

I'd like to see a comparison and discussion of the module/package
infrastructures, namely PyPI CPAN and RubyGems.

I think this is the place where each language has both a lot to learn and a
lot to offer. It is also the cornerstone of Open Source... sharing reusable
software components.
