Python and Ruby are becoming more and more popular. especially Ruby has many fans who came from a Perl background. maybe "The Perl Journal" should be a "Ruby, Perl, Python" Journal.

I have read the articles. There have also been a lot of these articles when jsdk 1.3 came out and Swing was not much faster.
Swing is a cool idea. If it could match the performance of VB on windows or Qt in Linux there would be much more cross platform apps and this would also help linux onto the desktop.

I hope that Swing is faster now under linux.
I played with netbeans and jedit and although there are really good they are not very fast on linux. on a slower windows PC jedit stated much faster than on my linux box.
a few days ago I played a little with Ruby (the coolest language available IMHO) and Gtk+. although the bindings are not yet finished they work very well under Linux and this is much faster than Java/Swing.
Maybe Ruby is the future. At least I hope so. If Ruby gets more stable modules Ruby can be the Number One OOP language.
It is cleaner than Perl or Java, the Programms are shorter, the Language is more intuitive and.... and.... and.
This is only my humble opinion. See for yourself if you like ruby. check out http://www.ruby-lang.org
tpye: of course I meant "is no waste of money".
and by the way. open source is about choice. so everybody can choose and support whatever she or he liks
I think perl has a bright future so supporting it is to waste of money.
and by the way. I think the number one scripting
language will be Ruby and not Python. some reasons:
- private variables
- everything is an object
- you need less code than with python
- no indentation necessary which will be confusing when developers are using diffenrent editors
I think python is fine and it also will have a brigth future but more and more people will switch to Ruby
I also think perl is very useful. but during the
last couple of months I switched to Ruby. the scripts are often even shorter than perl scripts and much cleaner. and IMHO Ruby is also better suited for large programms.

yes Ruby has some of this variables, but they
are not used very often in Ruby.
believe me, Ruby code looks much more readable than
Perl code (unless you really want to mess up the code but this you can do in any language).
since I have started using Ruby I use it always when I would have used perl before.
you really should give it a try
I think perl will be around for quite a long time but many will also move to more modern languages like Python and especially Ruby.
