    ...Python I had used Python for small scripting projects before, and liked its quick-off-the-blocks feel. It would provide me with a malleable environment in which to experiment with features, to see what Nat would find interesting. Although this was an at-home project to be used only by my son, it shared issues with larger, supposedly more serious projects: unclear requirements, unpredictable customers, and limited developer resources. The most important concern to me in choosing the developmen...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python The language I chose for the code generators was, of course, Python. Its simplicity and power are perfect for the job of reading data files and producing code. To simplify the integration with the C++ code, the Python generators are inserted directly into the C++ file as comments. Cog reads a text file (C++ in our case), looking for specially-marked sections of text, that it will use as generators. It executes those sections as Python code, capturing the output. The output is then splice...

Ability to Integrate: We had no...
