Software Carpentry Competition (fwd)
|
Our friendly ORA usergroup contact recently sent this along.
The first thing that you'll note is the heavy use of Python in this
competition (all submissions should be written with or at least use Python).
Reading that got me thinking, if Python's killer app is Zope, and TCL's
killer app is AOLServer (possibly), why doesn't Perl have a killer app?
