News from the land of High Level Languages.
Like the author of this post, I prefer python to ruby but dabbled with it and do find it a pleasure to program in. Its interesting how Matz took the 'feeling' of programming in ruby into account as he designed and built it. Certainly seems to work for me.
Unfortunately, most of my scripting work is done in perl. When I can choose the tools, I program in Python/Jython. Ruby is interesting to me and I plan to keep an eye on it.
Ruby released its latest version 1.8.0 in August this year.
Read more about Ruby, Python, Jython, and Perl.

Perl is on the move again. Get it here.
In other news for script writers in Perl, Python, and TCL ActiveState has been acquired by Sophos, an AntiVirus company based in the UK.

Finally looks like the rest of the world is catching up to us vim users! Infoworld has an interesting article about programmers eschewing (is that a word?) the complicated ide in favour of tools like vim. Apprently for some the practice of authoring software is better performed in a minimalist environment with few distractions.
In the same vein, Slashdot has an interesting article about the tools that novelists/writers prefer which sort of parallels this. They seem to prefer something stripped down, yet efficient that doesn't get in the way of the thought flow ...

Posts that examine software development practices, general observations about what software organizations I work with are doing, and other bizarre things I find that are somewhat related to the practice of software development.
