oops. i see that my previous comments were not accepted to the list (gmail's default "rich formatting)
-------- [deleted, CPAN...] to add, backward compatibility is not good e.g. numpy works under python 2.4 and 2.5 (not perfect, last i tried) but not under 2.6 (last i tried and gave up.) and certainly not under 3. maybe it now does, but i gave up a new version of the language breaking the modules is very frustrating. ------ about the syntax, well, it is only expected that different languages have different syntax , the "map" syntax is reminiscient of SQL and not very much unnatural for a human language. though it may get ambiguous if the clauses get bigger. -- vish -- vish 2009/11/17 Avishalom Shalit <[email protected]> > > well, as long as you are using emacs, > it doesn't really matter which language you choose > > -- vish > > > 2009/11/17 Gabor Szabo <[email protected]> >> >> One thing I can add: >> >> On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 8:20 AM, Yosef Meller <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > Shmuel Fomberg wrote: >> >> > >> >> And I'm missing CPAN. they don't have a main archive of modules, but >> >> every module have his own website. >> > >> > To my understanding, PyPI (the Python Package Index) is an effort to >> > create a CPyAN, but it just doesn't have the entrenched cultural place >> > of CPAN in Perldom >> >> There was a recent thread about this with many feedback. >> This might be a good place to start reading: >> http://chris.prather.org/everybody-wants-some--cpan.html >> >> >> Gabor >> ps.
