  ...data, quotes, publication approvals, etc. Given that we have over 60 leads to follow up with, this should easily produce enough material to fill the brochure with lots of interesting stories and show cases. The success stories that won't make this edition of the brochure will be hosted on the brochure website and are likely going to be used for future editions. Since we have already received enough material to start working on the layout, we'll enter that next phase in the coming weeks." M....

  ...data restoration from back-up media.) Scripting languages have become incredibly popular, and an advanced scripting language like Python makes a good starting point for our expedition. One persistent criticism on scripting languages is that their performance is inadequate for some tasks. Techniques like program analysis and advanced compiler technology may be able to eliminate part of this problem, probably in combination with some form of optional static typing.
