Τhe success of Java shows that marketing is all you need to make something popular. Its funny because after web development (html/js/php) , Java is the most hated thing out there. Both are extremely popular :D
Even if python has not been embrassed by google and used in behemoth projects like Youtube, I dont think that it would be as remotely as close to being popular as it is today. ________________________________ From: Igor Stasenko <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; dimitris chloupis <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 13 December 2012, 10:58 Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Fwd: Lua scripting with nativeboost?
