Hopefully will blog about it soon...<BR/><BR/>@joao<BR/>It depends on what we are trying to achieve with any language I guess. For my case I found Python to be extremely useful for quick development for staffs that I did not need to compile and place somewhere just to get it to run in trial and error way. Plus I got everything done. May be for your use case Java is the best option, why dont you try Python with Jython to code Swing? Then you will be able to have a better idea. I just bought "Beginning Python" it has a whole chapter dedicated to it :).<BR/><BR/>The book also goes about using python to code servlets :). Try the book it could be enlightening :). Hope you enjoy it too.imyousufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05717111835467977502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265194643022445353.post-30369080226053844472008-09-11T07:04:00.000-07:002008-09-11T07:04:00.000-07:00Ahh.. sorry I mean python ... not skype..kaihttp://kai.system7.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265194643022445353.post-65735094340762675352008-09-11T06:44:00.000-07:002008-09-11T06:44:00.000-07:00Welcome to the nice python world. Fantastic how you write you satisfaction about skype. 2 hours is really good. I required an afternoon to read the python tutorial and starting to program. After that I was infected. :-)kaihttp://kai.system7.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265194643022445353.post-33766379149022588092008-09-11T06:41:00.000-07:002008-09-11T06:41:00.000-07:00That's a question that is still in my mind. And I still didn't found the answer.<BR/>Some years ago I had a brief exposure to python but I didn't found compelling reasons to keep using it.<BR/>Some time ago I decided to give it another opportunity, and started developing a desktop application. At least for now, I didn't found any major advantage over Java. The code I'm writing ends being very similar to the one I would write in Java, except I don't have the benefit of using a powerfull code completion as the one provided by Eclipse. Maybe I'm using the wrong approach due to my Java background.<BR/>I'm especially annoyed with the need of using <B>self</B> to access instance attributes. <BR/>I agree that it's a language with some interesting features, but I still didn't found the need to use them.<BR/>Anyway I will keep using it for my application, hoping to be enlightened.João Assunçãohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14318478029574906324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265194643022445353.post-60703638666123631372008-09-11T05:38:00.000-07:002008-09-11T05:38:00.000-07:00It is good to read your feedback about Python. It is really a powerfull language for all propouses. Welcome to Python!Christiano Andersonhttp://christiano.blog.br/noreply@blogger.com
