Seen in the Wall Street Journal, Monday, July 21, 2003, page B1.
Lee Gomes' "Portals" technology column: "Two Men, Two Ways to Speak
Computerese and Two Big Successes".
This is a brief, non-technical story on Guido von Rossum, inventor of
Python, and Larry Wall, inventor of Perl.
I don't think this is available online unless you are a paid
subscriber to the WSJ online edition. So here are a few quick quotes

This seems like it ought to work, according to the
description of reduce(), but it doesn't. Is this
a bug, or am I missing something?

Hello,
This is not a troll posting, and I've refrained from
asking because I've seen similar threads get all
nitter-nattery. But I really want to make a decision
on how best to invest my time. I'm not interested on
which language is better in *general*, just for my
purpose. My area of research is in CAD algorithms,
and I'm sensing the need to resort to something more
expedient than C++, bash scripting, or sed scripting.

Hi,
I am just starting to use Python. Does Python have all the regular
expression features of Perl?
Is Python missing any features available in Perl?
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
I'm working hard trying to get Python 'accepted' in the organisation I work
for. I'm making some good in-roads. One chap sent me the text below on
his views of Python. I wondered if anyone from the group could give me
some advice on how to respond / if they had been in a similar position.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks in advance,

Hi, I've been thinking about Python vs. Lisp. I've been learning
Python the past few months and like it very much. A few years ago I
had an AI class where we had to use Lisp, and I absolutely hated it,
having learned C++ a few years prior. They didn't teach Lisp at all
and instead expected us to learn on our own. I wasn't aware I had to
uproot my thought process to "get" it and wound up feeling like a
moron.
In learning Python I've...

Hi group,
I need to develop a web application. I am in a fix as to choose among
the various server-side scripting options. I want to explore python
(am a newbie) to gain expertise and upon search, I learnt about
PSP(Python Server Pages) that uses Jython as its scripting language.
Is it a better option over PHP or Perl? Could anyone point out the
pros and cons of using PSP over others?
Help much appreciated.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends,
With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.
