[ale] James Gosling will be speaking at the Sept.AJUG meeting]

I believe KDE and GNOME are both written in C++ and they are large
projects.

I think it is good that schools are now teaching stuff like scripting
languages vs Cobol.  I ask why the choice of Python?  Maybe because it
has a strong focus in OOP.  It seems that Perl would give you more bang
for the buck in terms of languages to program in.  They are both
excellent choices.  I believe Perl has better community support which
would lend itself to a good choice in almost any project.  I'll put it
this way, there has not been a time when I thought that Perl could not
do what I needed and I thought about using something else.  I've done
some unique things with Perl so far.
