Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Java vs. Perl
Once you become aware you need a decent tool to get into the database
and "do your stuff" but also retain the ability to easily spawn out and
do some "other stuff" elsewhere, and you come to a point of starting to
ponder about Perl, may be it is not a bad idea to consider Python. Try
'em both and see which approach you prefer (or can live with).
Some years ago coming to realization it is high time to get a grip on powerful general purpose scripting language I too considered learning Perl, but got disgusted/repelled by it in almost no time.
Then I've stumbled across Python...
Python's "home":
