How do you drop vendor M and switch to vendor S if you can't port all of that crap because you don't have a clue what 7/8 of it is for?<BR/><BR/>Python is so much better, I only drop down into the muck of C#, etc., when I have to.dweldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641765782723140213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802292.post-73115931660951685562009-01-28T06:01:00.000-08:002009-01-28T06:01:00.000-08:00Amen!

I bought a copy of Visual C++ once and never got it working. <BR/><BR/>Another side effect is when you try to get your code to compile _outside_ the IDE. They hide the dependency paths somewhere and it takes longer to get the code compiling independently than it does to write the code. The end result? You can't share the code without great pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802292.post-7894846078199051642009-01-27T18:20:00.000-08:002009-01-27T18:20:00.000-08:00There was nothing wrong with "Hello world!"...And ...There was nothing wrong with "Hello world!"...<BR/>And look: no xml needed for anything!Noonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694829378563989648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802292.post-7055413163644428142009-01-27T09:49:00.000-08:002009-01-27T09:49:00.000-08:00I'm glad you pointed out how TG and django (and a ...I'm glad you pointed out how TG and django (and a lot of other projects) do the same thing.<BR/><BR/>I was attracted to scripting languages like perl and python because it was so easy to make one tiny change and watch happened.
