Hi all,

just read Garbor's article at http://szabgab.com/how-did-php-and-python-take-over-the-market-of-perl.html yesterday. Plus all the comments to that topic. Nothing really new.

But today I opened my mailfolder finding the XING newsletter (something like LinkedIn for those who don't know) with the following head line: "Etliche Neuerungen in Python 3.4" (more or less: Several new features in python 3.4).

The fact that this is actually the subject of the newsletter is really interesting. Besides the fact whether it is important or not to have focus on Perl I'm pretty sure they don't talk about perl when a new Perl release gets out.

Best regards
McA

P.S.: It would be interesting to know if Python is a building block at XING.
