Hi, It seems to me that measuring productivity in a programming language must take into account available tools and libraries.
Eclipse for example provides such an amazing IDE for java that it is no longer obvious to me that one would be much more productive in python for medium sized projects. Sure, all that Java static typing can be painful, but Eclipse takes some of that pain away. Moreover, static typing can result in better on-the-fly error detection and refactoring support. Any thoughts on this? Amir -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
