Dear friends,

mod_perl or Python which could be the ideal choice for developing
enterprises e-com applications ?

Hello Suresh

From the technology point of view - both mod_perl (Perl) and Python are
equally powerful, scalable and feature-rich.

Python's syntax is cleaner and more readable than Perl. Python
emphasizes on the philosophy of "There should be one—and preferably only
one—obvious way to do it" - which means code written by one programmer
would be easily understood and maintained by others. Also, Python
"imposes" discipline on programmers in terms of indentation and syntaxes
- which allows large-scale applications maintainable in the long run.
Python is a lot easier to learn and master.

Perl, on the other hand is more like a magic wand. Perl gurus often
consider themselves as wizards/magicians with a powerful tool in hand.
Perl tends to be a highly expressive language rich in syntax and
emphasizes on the philosophy - "There should be more than one way to do
it". But in my experience, skilled Perl programmers today are becoming a
rarity. Perl as a language has a very steep learning curve when compared
to Python. Perl also has a reputation of being a "write-only" language.

But it is still considered as a language of choice for developing
applications that involve manipulating very large/complex data
(Bio-informatics, Data mining, Log processing, process automation and so
on). However, creating large-scale applications in Perl require proper
co-ordination amongst developers - which involve adhering to
well-defined and uniform syntax and semantics, coding standards and
guidelines.

If you are going to develop an enterprise e-commerce application that
would be maintained by many developers in the long run - many of who
might be new to both Perl/Python, I would recommend Python for quicker
productivity - unless of course, you are highly inclined to think like a
Perl wizard.

Thanks for all your post, I have the same problem and now it has been sorted

Hello,
Really a great info.

Thanks

Hi,

Python tends to focus more on code aesthetics than performance; as a result, Python OpenGL developers continue to struggle with overcoming Python's array handling performance issues.
PyOpenGL v1 used native array handling, which is known to have significant performance issues; PyOpenGL v2 switched to SWIG, a C wrapper interface, which brought some improvements - however, the interface between Python's arrays and SWIG continued to be a bottleneck.

Perl is much simpler to port to/from C/C++/Java
Perl has a much larger repository of open source libraries
Perl has much stronger/faster string handling (dynamic shader programs)
Perl simplifies embedding values within text blocks

From my point of view python would be a better option. Because, it's security system seems to be much stronger than Perl. Actually python is basically much preferred by the professionals for it's autonomously strong & secured facilities.

Perl is better because is more popular. Python have hard syntax.
