> There are definitely some who prefer Java, My friend Gerald would count as one. He wrote close-to-the-metal C for years, and despaired of finding a language that'd be up to realizing his day dreams, inspired by Snelson, then Fuller (he called it Elastic Interval Geometry or EIG). Then Java came along, and a primitive AWT. Everything started working. A dream come true. And the tools have been improving ever since (JBoss etc.). Gerald became an excellent Java programmer, used his skills to carve a brilliant paying career -- *and* in his spare time he wrote Fluidiom.[1] Whereas Gerald might empathize with those who use Python for the most part, he has no need of it. He's got it made. More power to him. I salute the Java juggernaut and wish all aboard her safe passage.[2] Kirby [1] http://worldgame.blogspot.com/2005/10/wanderers-20051018.html (Addendum) [2] my daughter was learning the word 'juggernaut' the other day; I'll show her my using it in this sentence. _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
