Re: Computer Language Popularity Trend

There is one index at : http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm

It isn't much reliable, put still I think it is a bit reliable.

Also, you might use number of open source projects at Sourceforge for 
the given language for giving assumptions, or number of job openings at 
Monster, i.e.

As I've seen on the monster there are openings for Python developers.
It is 30x less than Java, but there are less Python developers, so...
I don't know is it easier to find the job as Python or as Java developer.

I could try to find one as Python developer, to try how does it looks 
like...

I've got a lot of replies on this message.
In jEdit auto ident don't work OK.

Answers like vi, emacs and gedit I won't take seriously.
For gods sake, gedit don't even have syntax highlighting (at least on 
Centos 4.2).

I would like syntax highlighting, auto ident and if possible auto 
completition and embedded help.

I downloaded a couple of sugestions and I will try it. Thank you for 
your answers :) .

Uops, it seems that I should give a second chance to it, I haven't 
noticed its settings.

I know that emacs is powerfull editor but I'm not used to it.

jEdit don't maintain indentation level correct (it was my first try) 
then I googled a bit and was confused so I posted a message here :).

I'm not used to their approach.

I usually program in Java but recently I reliazed if I'm making Linux 
shell scripts, Python seems to be good choice to me.

So, that Pydev Eclipse plug-in (or some other) seems interested.

No!
When process run the sleep, the operating system give other processes to 
run and it takes time (so called time slice)  to get back to the 
original process.

Recently I invoked Runtime.sleep() from Java on Centos 4.2 and it might 
take up to 1 sec(!) to come from the sleep no matter what you put as the 
sleep parameter.

Basically each process runs for around 20ms and then the other process 
get priority. I'm not sure why those Codecs run OK when I watch DVD 
movie while running other Java application which use processor and hard 
disc quite intensivly, it seems that they got slices regulary, I'm not 
sure way.

So, once more when you go to "sleep" other process get the slice so it 
could take more time then predicted to continue.
