There is a question that the slides don't address which I am curious about -- why didn't you just use Java & Java-based languages? The slides make a fine argument for using Java, but little or none for using Perl with Java -- using Perl is apparently taken for granted, despite all the oddities of calling between them. Given that the calling cost from JVM-based dynamic languages (e.g. Xtend, Groovy, Jython, et al) is virtually free, why not use them instead of Perl? _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
