Subject: The Decline of Scripting

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Last year the local Barnes&amp;Nobles reserved several large shelves for the scripting world: Perl, JavaScript, etc.</DIV>
<DIV>Recently they were removed. Now it's&nbsp;time consuming&nbsp;to find the Larry's book, it's even harder to find others (Python, Ruby, etc).</DIV>
<DIV>The scripting world seems to suffer from the struggle of the economy, but the indonesian language section (Java) is still overcrowded.</DIV>
<DIV>BTW, how old (or young) is Ruby? It is&nbsp;guessed that&nbsp;nine years is the test of time for a new language to become mainstream. Is it true?</DIV>
