Python Moving into the Enterprise

Posted by timothy on from the slither dept.

Qa1 writes "Seems that Python is moving into the enterprise. At the recent PyCon it has become apparent that it's not just Google, GIS, Nokia or even Microsoft anymore. The article points out that Python is increasingly becoming a perfectly viable and even preferred choice for the enterprise. More and more companies are looking at Python as a good alternative to past favorites like Java. Will we finally be able to code for living in a language that's not painful? Exciting times!"

    Dude, programming for the enterprise without the pain is like the Passion of the Christ without the crucifiction... It's Impossible.
    In that case, Perl should fit perfectly.

    Those 4,000 users now save 3 seconds, 10 times an hour, 8 hours a day. It's like getting an extra 33 employees for free.

    Did a consultant compute that number?
