Hm.. might be accurate. The style seemed SO different that I didn't
want to bother with attempting to learn it. I have rarely seen a simple
job that stays simple.
I'm planning to learn make.. - its on the recommended list from
software carpentry. somewhere in my bookmarks on
del.icio.us/jbdavid/programming (automate your build process) but this is the
application
that might break the rule above..
- I have been trying to move new projects to python.. but continue to use perl
where I am extending a previous application.
