  1. Re:Perl in decline, at least here by LarsWestergren · · Score: 2, Informative · on Where's the "IronPerl" Project?

    Oh, and I forgot:

    I think it's more that IronPython is basically a vanity/research project, akin to JPython/Jython a few years ago

    Jython has had a resurgence last year. Sun even hired Ted Leung towork on it full time.

  2. Re:wow; parrot has had an impact. by Otter · · Score: 4, Informative · on Sun Hires Two Key Python Developers

    Basically, Leung lost his job, posted on his blog that he was looking, someone at Sun read it and they made him an offer. I don't think this whole thing is nearly as elaborately crafted a strategy as people are making out.

  3. Um, not just Jython by tbray · · Score: 4, Informative · on Sun Hires Two Key Python Developers

    Well, no, if you check Ted's blog, you'll see that he's going to be working on Python-in-general, not just Jython.

  4. Mom see I'm a scientist by Stan+Vassilev · · Score: 0, Troll · on Humans Hard-wired for Geometry

    There are two popular studies. One is that multitasking makes you stupid:

    http://www.sauria.com/blog/misc/103

    Also we have all the studies that women are better at multitasking.
    So I just added 2 and 2 there...

  5. Who left whom? by christian.einfeldt · · Score: 1 · on Another Theory on Apple's Move To Intel

    I have heard more than one seemingly knowledgeable person wonder who left whom. Gary Edwards, who is active in the OpenOffice.org community, and who has always struck me as being quite knowledgeable, has speculated that it was IBM who refused to license the PPC6 because IBM wants to leverage Linux against Intel and Microsoft the same way that Microsoft and Intel commoditized IBM PCs and migrated the value from the whole PC to the key components, the chip and the operating system. http://www.sauria.com/blog/2005/06/05 I have not found anything on Google or Yahoo that confirms the suggestion that it was IBM who left Apple, not the other way around. Did IBM leave Apple? Or did Apple leave IBM? Clearly, we know that Steve Jobs made a very public announcement to the effect that it is Apple which is leaving IBM, but is that just a marketing ploy? Any solid evidence would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Because ActiveState Python is "not fast enough for more than demos"
