And that's fine, because they may love the language their using.<BR/><BR/>Some developers prefer a very lightweight development method, and Python or Ruby gives that to you ... as in you don't "need" a large IDE to do all your work in.<BR/><BR/>The "why dynamic languages" topic is a book in itself, so the only way for a programmer to make an educated decision is to try one of these langauges for themselves. Or watch a screencast, those always win people over.Jimmy Schementihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370777584064015818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419182.post-40632738150379952892008-11-17T05:52:00.000-08:002008-11-17T05:52:00.000-08:00Jimmy, the slide deck is nice, but sort of minimal. I guess you had a lot of demos to do. :)<BR/>I get a lot of questions on "why would I choose dynamic language over C#"... I think that most ASP.NET developers don't 'see' the benefits of using python/ruby/jscript as their backend... How do you explain such questions? Why would one use python rather C# as a 'code behind' for Silverlight? (other than language preference, mind you! :)).Miha Valencichttp://www.mihavalencic.comnoreply@blogger.com
