Subject: Perl versus other scripting language
Hi Perlers !
In my project we are using lot of scripts (for various job
launching
activities )some written in bash, some in perl.It's completely
chaos
and not organized.
Now we want to revamp the whole scripting framework using some
high level scripting languages like perl, python, ruby etc.
I wanted to use perl, but my other teammates wants to use either
python or ruby.They say perl is not readable and hence difficult
to maintain.
I am comfortable using perl but not sure about ruby and
python
what they offer.
Can somebody throw your opinion please ?
Alok.
Let me preface this by saying I'm not a huge fan of either python or ruby, but
they do have their places.
Ask yourself and your group a few questions...
Which language are all of you the most comfortable with?
At 3am, which would you rather fix?
Does anyones argument for or against another language that include the
words "Sucks", "rules" or "plain English"?
Seriously, All three languages can most likely be used to rewrite your
scripts...
If I were doing it, It would be in Perl... but that’s years of using Perl
talking.
Just use the "right" tool for the job.
