Brenda Wallace posted a colleague's picture of a whiteboard from their office today. Her post says "dunno which technology to inflict on my clients next, so we had a brainstorm. looks like TCL won."
The whiteboard reads:
Lisp is bitter
PHP is DancingBear
Python is beige
Erlang is imaginary
Ruby is a fad
Java is angry
Tcl is cute
Perl is ready for retirement
Certainly I don't think Perl is ready for retirement, but it's interesting to see what people think about Perl, and about all its brethren.
I'd go with mature and experienced (ready for retirement) over cute any day.
my client is kinda beige, so probably should use python.
