Perl Mongers Perl Magazine

Posted by Hemos on from the mongering-it dept.

Its first issue was published on 1 February in PDF-only format, but the article 'Extreme Publishing' describes the process by which they plan to expand. With The Perl Journal's future still somewhat in doubt, this is welcome news."

  1. Python journal? by banky · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You can't mention Perl anymore without someone saying, "You should be using Python instead" (the opposite is true, too, I guess). It seems to me that there is a much smaller Python community, for what is a rapidly growing userbase. There are few O'Reilly Python titles when compared to Perl (although that's not exactly suprising since Larry, you know, works there and stuff).

    Is it merely that larger-scale Python stuff is under the average Perl user's radar, or is there just not a lot of Python "media"?

  2. I'm happy to see this by EvlG · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Since it has been folded into SysAdmin, TPJ has pretty much sucked. 2 or 3 articles, once every 3 months is really sad. I appreciate what Jon Orwant and others have done, but TPJ is not what it used to be.

    I wish Perl Mongers success with their efforts.

    "scripting languages" ??

    Shell languages are scripting. Perl and Python are not.
