GIGO: words unreadable aloud
Computer Science -- stuff I'm interested in but that doesn't necessarily relate directly to my job.

Programming Language Humor

Michael Vanier wrote an excellent update of the Programming Languages as Cars metaphors. I added a comment to the Lambda discussion about it.

And burningbird wrote a wonderful parable about Programming Languages that everyone has linked to by now.

Python 2.3 Plan Summary

Plans are starting to solidify, for the next version of Python, Python 2.3, scheduled to be released some time in late 2002 or early 2003.

The PEP (Python Enhancement Proposal) about the 2.3 plan is here: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0283.html

(Jeffrey "Industrie Toulouse" Shell pointed out this PEP, at http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/2002/10/08.html#a215 )

To turn this entry into my own mini-pointer about the PEPs, I'll add that http://www.python.org/peps/ is the URL for PEP 0, which is an index of all of the PEPs, and that http://www.python.org/doc/essays/pepparade.html is where Guido, the BDFL, comments about the ones that he has read. Seems like they somehow could have worked Sergeant PEPper into this, somewhere.

BTW, good turnout for this past Wednesday's BayPIGgies meeting. Wesley summarized some of the Python-related talks from the O'Reilly OSCon.
