The first approach would make all our functionality available to the user, but users would have to use the same development environment as Tribon Solutions, change compiler versions when Tribon Solutions did so, and so forth. This would have been an expensive and complex solution, only usable by the largest shipyards in the world, those that had their own large IT and de...

Guido van Rossum was also funded, but his case falls into a different category (BDFL & keynote speaker). Last year, $2500 was allocated for Guido and $3000 at the conference committee's discretion.

The Hard Way with C++ Our first implementation of this schema involved a fractured collection of representations.

The validation module had its own tables containing rules about which pr...

However, we lacked confidence that code developed on Windows would work equally well on Mono, and all development would need to actively avoid API that would be missing on Mono. The differences in stability and feature set of the IDEs on Windows and Linux was also an issue. As a result, we looked at other options, including Python. At the time of our investigation, Python ha...

Perl was not considered to be as robust....
