Re: [JDEV] Writings from the Journal of TCharron
Thanks for answering this one for me..
Personally, I actively use zabber to test the Win32 code between my Linux and Windows box. Hell, I actually personally PREFER to use a script based client for anything, merely becouse I tend to open up the code and make a change every once and a while, but..
We have the masses.. The George Jetsons that click on the exe for install, click every button marked 'Yes' or 'Ok', and well, that's the mass market.
By the same token, many people who prefer script based languages also give the argument.. 'But we have talk!!'.. ;-P
