Re: [chuck-users] code reusability

By the way: good programmers enforce legible code, not languages. :)

Yes, Joe, but if *I* write it in Perl, it will be crap code. :) I'm working on a Python stub application for this session handler idea. We can use it as a basis and build on it, if you guys like it. What Andrew and I were talking about doing is actually quite different than what Scott Wheeler's original Perl script did. I'm much more interested in the session handler idea, but I'm sure there's a way to combine them. I personally don't think it makes much difference what language they two are written in as long as they play nice together. Mike On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 10:29 PM, Joe McMahon wrote:

I would be happy to help make something too, although I would say we should use Python for two reasons: 1) I know Python much better than Perl. 2) Python enforces much more legible code. Okay, well, I'll take a look at the Perl version; let's see what we can come up with.

By the way: good programmers enforce legible code, not languages. :) Programming languages can help out, but it's possible to write crap code in any language. Having written both, I think that writing good Perl does indeed require more discipline, but the power advantages (especially CPAN) help a lot. _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
