Mphfffff Even I have some agreement that the choice of a language it's more a business-driven issue I REALLY don't like that the techie weenie shouldn't be heard. Talks a guy that programmed a GUI on Motif using C (plain old C) in 2003 and takes almost forever (one year and a half), instead of using any other graphical toolkit because "we can't afford to expend time on learning new languages"... I think time to development (usually related to "mystical" bugs well hidden in layers and layers of code) it's an important thing to take into account. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
