From: Pascal GUICHARD Date: 2005-04-17T06:52:35+09:00 Subject: Re: Hello Simon, First, i would like to thank you to try to answer my questions. The fact is that I am a little bit disappointed by the libraries, and the evolution : Some things/projects are conducted very well and fast, such as ruby on rails, and I recognize a lot of other ones. But on the hand, another lot of projects/libraries are present but somewhat outdated at best, going even to deprecated/inoperatives such as the ruby-python bridge, that IMO Should be one of the most well maintained because of all work/llibraries that it would make accessible, such the library I mentionned : twisted-python, and also a lot of python work. And last but not least, remember what the community said about the evolution for the java language : the java language, though evolving through some king of JCP, has been seen by the programmers community, because it was SUN's property. So compare the latter scheme for Java, with the present one for ruby that is maintained and evolving by only one man, even though as much brilliant as you want. So my problematic would be to consider this language as mature enough for corporate/entreprise dvpt or not, depending on the upper questions. Thanks P.

Can you elaborate.. I don't understand. -- Simon Strandgaard
