For GUI development/design I found general lacks in Python IDEs but my experience is "already" quite old - must have been early 2008 if I remember right.<br /><br />For the language itself, I like Python very much but when I was trying to fix a few issues on an application we have at the company I am working for, it was quite a headache. Some elements of being a dynamic language disturbed quite a lot.<br /><br />I have seen so much bad and buggy code that I also find it important that the language is easy, readable and "resistant to bugs". E.g. explicit variable definitions required is one of the elements that helps avoiding bugs, being a static language helps also.Martin Wildamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078822365635360301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557457948801960842.post-81390954567228629652010-07-15T16:17:08.896+02:002010-07-15T16:17:08.896+02:00I like Python too !

And the best thing on it: It is extendable via plugins (like Eclipse) - there is a plugin for Django, thats great stuff !!!!

I have seen and used many programming languages and from that experience I think that there will be even more languages created that will be even better. From my point of view Ruby or Scala are not the last conclusion of wisdom in this area and therefore I would still prefer Java over Scala for example.Martin Wildamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078822365635360301noreply@blogger.com
