Well, at least Ruby is in the running... You probably wouldn't have
considered Ruby a year ago which shows that we're making some progress
;-). Just curious, what aspects of Ruby do you
find awkward? we're always looking to improve. I think you mentioned in
the first post of this thread that
you're a C++ programmer and you find Python more natural. I've also done
a good bit of C++, but find Ruby more natural. I often find that I can do
rapid protyping in Ruby and then easily convert the prototype over to C++
(or I bring C++ into Ruby using Swig)... but of course you can do the same
in Python.
