python-hosting.com

12 PM May 4, 2004

I moved cardboard.nu over to python-hosting.com a week and a half a go. My “free week” expired today, so I paid up my account with for full year. Two reasons:

  • Fast – On my account’s server, top consistently reports loads of less than 1.00. This is a brilliant effort considering the server is running 50+ accounts, most with some kind of Python server.
  • Remi is friendly. He even put a smiley in an email he sent when my mis-configured server had 100 threads and was spawning still more.

"Scripting" Languages in a Sentence

8 AM May 4, 2004

Tim Bray gives the argument for “scripting” languages in a sentence:

Nicely put.
