I'm stunned that you're stunned. :^) Seriously, Python and Perl are two scripting languages, similar in scope, both successful. The Java market has about a thousand choices for app servers, whereas the Perl market's need is largely unmet.
would be Java floating around in Zope's bowl before Perl! Perl? Jeeze... what a great but very scary thing. I trust that DC will do it right.
Yes we will. As Jim is fond of saying, we allow methods in a lot of languages already: Python, HTML (DTML), SQL, and soon XSLT. The latter is *definately* one that will make Perl look readable. :^) Don't worry, this is a Good Thing. Scripting languages should work together and present a strong alternative. --Paul
