PERL is without a doubt my favorite scripted and even procedural language. The number of modules out there allow you to do almost anything. However, PERL really doesn't do well in the realm of Object Orientation. Additionally, the memory management isn't great so writing programs that you expect to have running for long periods of time (System Services / Daemons).
I've recently been teaching myself C#. Though so far I've only been using it under Windows, I'm using SharpDevelop which is a GNU project and will compile for Mono runtime as well. Next time I have a larger project for Linux I'm going to see just how functional Mono is. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Stevenson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 1:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RLUG] Addicted to Lua -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi friends, Has anyone else out there done much development with Lua? I had a former tech lead who was a real language geek. He was always pointing me at this or that cool new project. It took me several years but I've finally decided to check it out yesterday and spent about 20 hours on and off coding an exploit for pulltheplug.org (http://www.pulltheplug.org/fu/challenges/3/) since I thought that would be different... it's been rather um... strange. But it works at least in the proof-of-concept stage. What sort of languages inspire you? What features do you look for... use frequently. peace, core -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDSiSuGAuLrxOyeJMRAs1/AKCK4Hbhx8EsrrdhePCWlVjpAsLxsACgjf3h BVqN4qwfguCT4A/IUwVtY7g= =LfuI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient (s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
