Python vs Java

Hi Folks. I have been fighting a cold, and taking care of kids who are fighting colds. Therefore, my work with Jython and DB4O has been held up. However, I notice a fair degree of traffic – people are waiting for the work to continue.

Please accept this link as my next installment. Dhananjay Nene reflects on the differences between Java and Python, and how he feels more productive using Python. He also reflects on how duck typing affects design.

Dhananjay says nothing I would not have said, and his statements have more authority than mine: he has definitely spent more time writing Java than I have. In my day job, I write C#. My current project requires me to write VB using version 1.1 of the .NET framework – yuck! (Oh well, as my wife says, momma needs a new pair of shoes.)
