World-wide Stop Order on PERL,Python,Java::->> Use Ruby instead
----------------------------------------------------------------
Language is the most critical interface to SQL server like MySQL and
Postgresql.
Carefully select the language for interfacing to PostgreSQL!! It is
immensely
important to pick a proper application programming language.
Ruby will be storming the IT world and is targetting on Perl, Python
and Java.
Ruby is extremely important for the world-economy.
Ruby will overtake Python, Java and Perl as it takes the best of
"best languages"!
Ruby learnt from the serious mistakes made in Python, Eiffel,
Smalltalk, Java,
Lisp and many others
Perl is an old scripting language (free flowing like "C") but all new
developments
must be in Ruby and not in perl. Perl programmers can be easily
migrated to Ruby,
since Ruby's code base was originally borrowed from Perl. Vast amount
of Perl
code world-wide will slowly move into Ruby.
Ruby is about 10 to 20% faster than Java in execution speed. Ruby
runs slightly
faster than Java.
Ruby programs are about 50% less than Java. Java has lot of code
clutter.
Development time in Ruby is about 50% of Java, if it takes 2 months
for
Java project then takes about a 1 month in Ruby.
Ruby had won the hearts of Python programmers because it is more
flexible and
more object oriented than Python.
It is strongly recommended you see this presentation -
Ruby Slides - A Presentation About Ruby at
http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/talks/perlmongers/perlmongers.htm
Ruby's popularity surpassed the Python in Japan in year 2000, and now
it
is 2005. Imagine how many programs might have been written in Japan
in 5 years!!
Ruby interfaces with all the SQL server databases via the Ruby::DBI
interface
(similar to perl::DBI). It can connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL and
others.
Ruby is at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

ranks higher
than Java and is picking up points)
