> I lead a project for a new embeddable open source scripting language > called "The Falcon Programming Language":
I'm just skimming over the survival guide, and whilst I'm a fan of more open source, I'm wondering why, practically speaking, I would choose Falcon over Python (or Ruby, for those who swing that way). Sure, there are features here and there (like the .= operator, the continue dropping statement, $ aliases and # evals), but Python is pretty good, it's proven, and I would need convincing to switch over. Can you convince me? Also, one of the declared goals is a simple but elegant grammar, but then things like "=" meaning both assignment and equality seems inelegant to me, since it special-cases this line of code: a = 0 and print( "a > 0" ) or print( "a <= 0" ) _______________________________________________ language-bindings mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/language-bindings
