Apple releases Python based calendar server
During the WWDC Apple announced a number of open source projects. One interesting project for Python was the release of the iCal Server which is Python based. It uses the Twisted networking framework as its server component and all the other bits are Python. It implements CalDAV. The source page is here: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/collaboration.
Javascript becoming more Pythonic?
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/New_in_JavaScript_1.7
Javascript is picking up Iterators and Generators (with the yield keyword). And array comprehensions! Does this look familiar?
var ten_squares = [i * i for (i in range(0, 10))];
I wish browsers would simply open it up to allow:
<script type="text/python" src="mypython.py" />
Most graphical toolkits have APIs for many languages, why not the browser?
But I like seeing that Javascript is seemingly becoming more Pythonic.
