Re[2]: [Tutor] Comparative code questions: Python vs. Rebol

Thu Jan 16 12:58:36 2003

Hello Magnus and antormuhin:
    I want to thank you and everyone else on the list for
contributing to this thread. My original intent was to
gather some code examples that illustrated "self-composing"
code approaches in several languages. I will probably use
both the 'exec' approach and Danny's 'dictionary' approach
if only to stay in the context of the article that I'm=20
writing.

For those of you who have problems with that, I assure
you that disclaimers will be posted! :-) Please no
flaming or scolding!

Just for your own edification, I have written an article on
an 'html generation approach in rebol. This can be read
(among other places) at=20
    http://www.johnsons-web.com/col/code-corner.txt.html

I do a lot of cgi programming, have done some in python,
lots in c/c++, but now mostly in rebol.

I'm adding some python modules to one of my projects,
will be using the Mysql package and HTMLgen (tentatively).
- among others -

This is a great mailing list. You'll see me here again,
I'm sure as a bewildered newbie!

Thanks to all
