I didn't state that well and I didn't know much about Python.
Should one (today) build business applications to last 25
years out of "glue" languages?
After looking it over, if I did, I would use Ruby. But
maybe Ruby won't turn out to be "just" a glue language?
Yet, using something not popular seems potentially
somewhat suicidal concerning bringing in staff to maintain
and enhance our applications. Like maintaining our SPL
applications.
