I may be the fool, but if you read the article at perl.com, it's an april fool's joke. http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/04/01/parrot.htm Look at the code snippet: # copy stdin to stdout, except for lines starting with # while left_angle_right_angle: if dollar_underscore[0] =eq= "#": continue_next; } print dollar_underscore; } silliness :) Troy -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan [mailto:admin@ur.nl] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 9:39 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Perl + Python = Parrot? Hi all, Just reading a press release on python.org: Perl and Python to begin joint development http://www.python.org/parrot.html I thought Guido and the rest of the Python crew worked at Digicool, but apparently he just accepted a job at ActiveState, together with Larry Wall. Where is this going? If Perl and Python are merging in the near future, we'll need to find another language to fight our language wars with ;) C# maybe? :) Cya Jonathan _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
