Python on Nokia Series 60 handsets
|
Nice post Karl, I was looking into learning Python as it's an up and coming programming language. :)
|
With a "pain in the ass"-er syntax based on indentation spaces !
Forget ONE space and your program won't compile :-( PERL Rulez ! :-D |

Write a program today, next month you can't tell what you wrote. And you can read about all the commercial success stories on Python here: http://pythonology.org/success (No wonder NOKIA decided to do their future developments in Python, and trash PERL :cool: ) If you feel I'm biased towards Python, you're right :lol: That's because to me, it has also been a success in several of my commercial projects ;) -kwag |
I to am a big fan of Python especially after a friend of mine recommended it to me, I think it is going to be a very powerful tool for programming.

I use to maintain a program for ALCATEL that counted several thousands lines. And a well commented software can be reopned 1 year after with no problem :-) Quote:
I work for Nortel Networks now and all is done in PERL. Quote:
Let's resume : Alcaltel use PERL, Nortel Networks use PERL... Nokia trashes PERL... Not-interoperability systems... do you understand ? That is not a technical choice, that is only business. They did that on purpose. Quote:

It's all about "clear syntax", and a cleaner language, which PERL heavily lacks. It's a matter of time, and more companies using PERL will switch. ;) Just take a look at Johnson Space Center (NASA), where Python is now their choice for scripting language. ;) And about large scale projects in PERL? Well, I don't agree, even if it's heavily documented. PERL's syntax compared to Python, is like comparing C to BASIC :lol: And that is a maintenance nightmare. (And I'm not kidding :!:) -kwag |

I do know PERL and my job. All is matter of good policy and coding rules. Whatever the langage (PERL or Python is the same : you can do shit with both :-P). Between the python script and the next perl task I'm involved into a Java GUI enhancement. THAT is a real nightmare :-) |

So, why don't you just program your GUI in Jython, which targets Java byte code directly, and you don't have to worry about Java's nightmare :?: :idea: ;) www.jython.org This way, you can use the power of Python's syntax with ALL the standard Java classes/libraries. -kwag |

In fact as I tell you I'm currently enhancing a Java GUI that was already coded by other team. Quote:
