Timeless Software: Part 2
The need for maximum efficiency and flexibility of expression in content creation has led to a proliferation of programming languages. The resulting heterogeneous language landscapes present challenges to optimize execution at run-time. Run-time efficiencies can be achieved by separating meaning from optimization and managing state across layers of abstraction. Finally, maintaining security and reliability in the face of constant change and adaptation requires a powerful and flexible lifecycle management system.

Why not Python?
I was as usual bragging about Python and coaxing one of my colleagues to try it. But he said that he does not like scripting languages because there aren't IDEs which support intellisense and all the bells and whistles that strongly typed languages support. I was trying to make him understand that the power of python makes up for the type safety net. I do not want to talk about all the extra goodies that you get with scripting languages as it is has been discussed elsewhere. I wanted to present a convincing case of Python's dynamic nature and came up with an example that I thought was worth sharing with the community as well.
