a project to standardize script writing in my environment

hi
in my environment, besides shell scripts written for sys admin tasks,
there are shell scripts that call java programs which in turn will do
various processing like connecting to databases and doing manipulation
of data. My programmers all know only Java and so this is how the java
programs come about. Also, some scripts were written in Perl by some
admins who left, and successors have difficulty grasping perl syntax
and how it works.
My intention is to replace these scripts and java programs to python
scripts, and in future, any processing of text or running queries to
databases will be written in python using relevant modules. Browsing
the clp newsgroup on the advantages and comparisons of shell,perl,java
and of course python, as the language of choice for writing scripts, i
chose python as i think it has many benefits, like readability etc
etc...
Now i am preparing to write a recommendation to my boss for "endorsing"
python as the scripting language of choice. Is it a project worth doing
at least for my environment? What are the things that i should consider
if i were to go ahead?
thanks

Here's what I know so far: You have a C++ project. You have source files in it. When you go to compile it, first thing the preprocessor sticks the header files into each source file. So now you have your ".cpp" files all ready, without any "#include" or "#define" in them. Let's assume that there's 2 source files in this project, "a.cpp" and

While I've done javascript work for as long as I can remember (since Netscape first released it), I've only ever used it for trivial things, change a color here, validate a text element there, blah blah blah. With Ajax (actually, the uncovering of the XmlHTTPRequest object) I absolutely see the benefit of moving more of the UI work to the client, rather than doing page refreshes. I know there are a bunch of libraries out there...

I'm using Python for what is becoming a sizeable project and I'm already running into problems organizing code and importing packages. I feel like the Python package system, in particular the isomorphism between filesystem and namespace, doesn't seem very well suited for big projects. However, I might not really understand the Pythonic way. I'm not sure if I have a specific question here, just a general plea for advice. 1) Namespace....

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
