Hi, kichu!

Python is great scripting programming language.
I think that scripting is a technology whose
time has come. I'm using awk. awk is a
pattern-matching programming langauge for
processing text files, especially when they
are databases. It helps me in may everyday
programming and data analysis. awk is simple
and beautiful programming language with C syntax.
Why I need c# or Java for this purpose?

For the time being I don't care for .net, c#,
and MS Technology. Maybe in the future.

With Python you can processing text files like
XML (Python has XML-parser) or you can run
it on any Java platform (Jython). This is
a powerful technology, I think and I see that.
