Subject: [LUG] Re: Python, Perl,C++ or Both of the 3
i asked a few people online and in here in town and
they tell me each has its strengths or specialities.
some guys online even insist that you MUST have
python,perl,C/C++, java, and awk knowledge to be
versatile in your work especially when dealing with
unix-like environments.

I share Ezra's opinion. It really depends on the
scenario. There are a
number of factors to consider, some factors as
simple as "time" and some
as complicated as "scalability" ;-)

Excellent contribution to the open source

Thank you!
Are we to assume this is what powers the Ug
whois database?
Yes, that is correct. However, we're in the
finishing stages of tightly
integrating it with the online registry so that the
information in the
whois database can be made a better reflection of
the information in our
main registry database.
Rgds,
Gerald.

Python is the most conceptually elegant and clean
one of the lot.
Maybe a little *too* clean. I like to read Python
code, but I don't
like to write it. However, when I do write Python
code, it tends to
be an enjoyable experience.
Perl is the Swiss army knife. It does everything and
then some. If
you want to do it, Perl can do it, in many more ways
than you can
ever imagine. I hate reading Perl code, especially
when it is someone
else's Perl code. I don't like my own Perl code
either. What I
dislike most about Perl is the overabundance of
special little
features. But they sure do come in handy when you
need then, which is
where the whole problem with Perl is. Yes, it can do
the job, but do
you really know how to do it?
I gave up on C++ the day I took a look at Boost, a
C++ library that
claims to be the world's 'best'. The header files
are full of little
tricks and techniques to make the code work on
different compilers.
The problem with C++ starts when you have finished
developing your
application. It works, it is debugged and it's
perfect. Moving to a
new compiler, or to a new operating system
jeopardizes all that work
because there is no one C++ language, even though
there is a 'standard'.
C++ is also just too complicated. Layers of warts
upon warts. It
tries to be like Perl without being as cool as Perl
- too many things
are in the language. C++ is an abomination and a sin
in the eyes of
God. Objective C is a much nicer language that
should have instead
been adopted but was not. I'd rather write in C than
in C++ and I
guess that says a lot ...
I think I'd choose Perl ... but with a guilty
conscience.

Thanks .But if you want to be "de best" what would
you recomend ? :-\
Seen most *NIX OS's like Redhat and buddies powered
by Python code
,should I assume it's de best? "Didn't say it's
best" :-)
