This looks kind of interesting: http://wiki.reia-lang.org/wiki/Reia_Programming_Language In short: it's a Ruby/Python type of language on top of Erlang. It has a mishmash of Ruby and Python syntax, and also does objects, implemented as Erlang processes. Funny quote: Reia uses an indentation-sensitive syntax. This allows Reia to look similar to Erlang without relying on "ant turd" tokens (i.e. , ;...

Nahum Dotan has been trying to evaluate which of Boo and IronPython are more suitable for embedding. ( Boo is a statically typed .NET / Mono programming language with duck typing and a Python inspired syntax.) "In short, I didn’t come to a conclusion. But I did have some fun. I played with the thought that using python’s native dictionary initialization syntax would be nice as a configuration file...

Adam Wolf decides to learn a new programming language - and in attempt to thin out the number of possibilities he limits the field to those that he can use for both desktop application development and with Silverlight. Naturally this brings him to IronPython. Polyglot Python " The winner is IronPython, a dynamic language used in conjunction with the new .Net Dynamic Language Runtime. Python was created...

CIO magazine has an article titled You Used THAT Programming Language to Write WHAT? They took five "scripting" languages — Ruby, Python, Javascript, PHP and Perl — and then get Zed Shaw , Martin Aspeli , Michael Morrison , Kenneth Hess and James Turner to write about what kind of applications the language is good for, and where you are better using another language. Check it out .

At the risk of starting a programming language holy war, can someone explain to me why someone would choose to start a new project in Perl instead of Python? From what I’ve seen, they both do essentially the same things in the same ways, and they’re both (roughly) the same as far as language overhead (from language interpretation) is concerned.

Christian Heimes recently pointed out some imports that were extraneous or could be changed such that Python's startup could be faster. So, to take a break from working on my thesis proposal and b3 stuff, I wrote a script that analyzed the AST for some source code and tried to deduce which imports were dead. Interesting thing was that it not only found dead imports (usually something minor like importing...
