Flavien Flavien Getting the hang of it Registered: 1999-07-21 Posts: 95 Loc: Geneva, Switzerland	I was wondering what other scripting languages the KiXtart community is using? I know some bits of PHP (enough to fix WordPress and MediaWiki) and I think I'll move toward Python (to get my code running on Linux and Mac OS X as well). And to have multithreading and unicode support. What would you guys move to?

Runs on Windows, Linux, (not sure about Mac) and it has a lot of power to it. Actually wish / hope KiX will be moving closer to their abilities some day soon.

I'd say 90%+ of my Windows scripts are Kixtart/Kixforms, with most of the rest Perl when I need special stuff (sockets) or cross-platform capability.

I even coded a database engine in KiX... until I've found SQLite. And now I'm facing some hard-to-deal-with stuff, like unicode. And doing unicode in KiX is ugly, which explain my desire to move to Python. Maybe my first app should be something like kix2py $;\)$

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	For scripting where KiXtart does not support the features I need, or where it needs to be platform neutral I use ported *nix tools (Bash, awk, X and so-on) provided by Cygwin (the X server is excellent) where the script is going to run on my machine. If I'm scripting for a more general deployment I try and use PHP - I loathe PERL, and PHP is a more useful skill for me to keep sharp on with it's integration into Apache. It also fits my coding style better and has very good cross platform support.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11629 Loc: CA	Okay just checked and yes Ruby runs on WINDOWS/LINUX/OS-X Have not coded in it myself yet though - just passing along what I've read on some Perl boards where some did not like Perl.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Scripting is so 2003! Looks like 2004 was the year it all went down hill. What happened then? Some new kind of scripting language became popular or something? _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
