Will Perl/Python/Ruby code be fast enough?
VectorSection: Frequently Asked QuestionsAren't there already enough file converters? I have several programs that can import and export files. No. There may be a lot of converters, but we wanted some quality with our quantity. Too much file conversion is done from an import/export menu in software with a graphical interface. This makes it difficult to create automated processes and tends to lead to stale information.
Related QuestionsHow would you compare Io to Lua, Python, Ruby, Perl and Java?
io - about - faqIo, Python and Ruby are pure OO languages (like Smalltalk), the others are not pure OO languages as they have non-object types. Io is a bit more pure as even assignment and locals accesses are messages. In the case of Lua, it is a language in which objects can be easily implemented but are not built in. In terms of simplicity and consistency of syntax, I'd (subjectively) rate them from simplest to most complex as follows: Io, Lua, Python, Ruby, Java, Perl.

Related QuestionsHow do I call Tcl code from Perl/Tk?
comp.lang.perl.tk FAQAssuming that you have a pressing need to call Tcl from Perl/Tk then one "official way" to so would be via the ->send() and the ->Receive() methods. It is also worth noting that you can still have access to a complete Tcl script from perl via the perl system, or '' (backtick), or even exec mechanisms. Just be careful with I/O waits and return values if you try one of these approaches. Further suggestions may be found in the various perlipc files at: ftp://ftp.perl.

GNU Enterprise GNUe FAQIf you want Java, LinuxKontor is probably a better choice for you. Because of Java's popularity, some of the GNUe team is working on a Java forms client (although it is not a priority and, therefore, is not actively maintained).
