Wasn't there a project that ran Python on top of Python?

Likely.

Every major coding interview I've done in the past decade has either requested or accepted Python for code.

Here is an example: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1190263-java-script-inserting-an-image-into-a-pdf-form

In this discussion, he titles the post "Java Script". But there is no Java Script, there is Java which is not a scripting language and there is JavaScript which is. So it would either be a Java program (lower case p) or a JavaScript script (lower case s.) The use of the upper case S in Script implies that he believes it to be a part of the name, but there is nothing with that name. He tags the thread "Java" which implies he truly means Java, but where did the word Script come from? Nothing in the topic provides a clue as to what he is doing. There is not any context to determine what language he is referring to. And given that he is unsure how to refer to them or that there could be confusion it is completely realistic that he does not mean either.

And Ruby ended up being the language that entered the top ten to displace Objective-C.

What is your opinion on Javascript and Node.js for backend web developers? I see a lot of back and forth on the topic throughout the internet.

It's making a lot of inroads on the backend but I don't see it lasting for forever. JS is a good language but not a great one. It just wasn't designed well for how it is being used. Once people start making Node.js-like engines for other languages, things will change rapidly.

Gotcha.

Some very neat project ideas. I hope that this is effective. Glad to see Google taking a strong lead here.

JetBrains does make the best IDEs. I hope that they do this for all of their IDEs and not just PyCharm.

All my internal applications are written in VBScript for classic ASP. I have started a book on C# though.

I started using Trello just for my ERP project, and yeah, I'm all about Kanban & Agile.

C# is where it's at!

And F#, of course.

Not as much as D minor

So ObjC was a Next product, not an Apple one?

And of course books. These two look best to me:

@ITcrackerjack you are correct. This is InfoWorld so not super up on programming.

Definitely the big thing is..... Why a new language.

All of our current desktop applications are VB.Net, but as we begin to update, all future code will be C#.

Granted, we have a lot of legacy code and simple updates will not always rate a rewrite to C# due to labor costs.

Does anyone like Objective-C? So outdated and painful.

@XeL it's been a while. How did your process go of getting into mobile app development?

Looks like the made 2 accounts here, posted a video and link to gather some precious clicks, and then disappeared. Spamtastic.

Might look that way at first glance, but XeL is, I'm pretty sure, someone that some people like @Pol and @Joy know personally.

Yeah, @XeL is one of my devs around 2014. I think his good now, he's been a good iOS dev.

And by the way, can somebody delete my other acocunt? I dont use @Pol anymore. I can't access my credentials when I tried using that account.

No, we can't delete because that would cause all your posts to be disassociated.

You chose not to delete because posts become disassociated.

You easily could.
