The State of Scripting Languages

Esther Schindler writes to tell us that Lynn Greiner has another look at the state of the scripting universe as a follow on to the same topic three years ago. Greiner talks to major players from each of the main scripting languages (PHP, Perl, Tcl, Python, Ruby, and Javascript) to find out the current status and where they are headed in the future. "The biggest change since 2005 has been the growth of richer Web applications that perform more of their computations in the browser using JavaScript. The demand for these applications has forced developers to learn and use JavaScript much more than before. There's also been a lot of interest in Ruby, another dynamic language, spurred by the release and growth of Ruby on Rails. As a result of these changes, many developers are becoming more comfortable with dynamic languages."

    It's a game sailors play.

    You need a few drinking buddies, a long banquet table with a long, heavy tablecloth, and one prostitute.

    The idea is to sit at the table while the hooker(who is under the table) will chose one of the men at random and begin sucking his dick.

    The object of the game is to receive fellatio and come without making it known to the other guys. For example, if the hooker chooses you and you squirm or grunt whilst having your dick sucked, and one of the guys calls you on it, then you lose and you have to buy the next round of beers before the hooker chooses another man at random.

    Moby Dick is neat. You could stick it in your vagina sometime.

    now that you've told your mom the kind of clientele you wish her to have, are you going to post her picture, name, address, phone numbers and rates for services? Can she really accommodate the multiple whale penises you mentioned as an afterthought?, passing a big turd such as yourself must have really loosened her up.
