Hi Christian Yes - it does appear it was a bad week for that doesn't it. I will say again that the listener feedback items in particular call for our opinions and these are mine - if other people disagree with them that's fine, but they are my opinions and when asked for them I will share them. In particular, which two programming languages would you chose is indeed a very personal choice. I am guessing that CKoener probably wouldn't chose Python in his languages either :-).
I haven't learned ruby in depth primarily because I don't feel a need to. Python always filled in the kind of things I would use ruby for, and as I say I like the cleanliness of it. On the times I have delved into ruby it doesn't seem to do anything that I can't do using python, and I don't like the syntax as much. That's an opinion folks and it's all mine, but it's at least honest. I will point out that I am not sorry for having opinions, nor am I sorry that others disagree with them :-). Everyone is entitled to their own. Cheers dick On Jul 24, 3:15 pm, Christian Catchpole <[email protected]> wrote: > Poor Dick.
