The three language system exists in all South-Indian states. I studied Kannada, English and Hindi from grade 5-8; Sanskrit, English and Kannada from 8-10; Sanskrit and English from 11-12. So that's 4 languages in 8 years :)

Kannada is no harder to learn to learn than any other Dravidian or Indo-european languages. If kannada is difficult to learn, the same can be said of Telugu, whose script is close to kannada. And Hindi which also follows the same script ru

Kragen, that is uncalled for. In most cultures, that remark is reserved for people who have hurt others. Naggum was opinionated about a freaking programming language. As far anybody knows, he did not hurt a human being.

Let's say, your brain groks ruby better than python and you feel more productive with it's "flexibility". No need to dismiss the hard work of python developers over the last couple of years as "weaseled". Maybe this "flexibility" you talk

Weasled? A programming language is what it's developers and users make of it. Python people have worked very very hard in the last 2 years to be ahead when everybody and their uncle were going ga-ga over Rails.

It is difficult to quantify what constitutes an "average" american or an "average" Indian. However, opinions and knowledge of a person is a function of the inputs they receive. For most people it is the media. The US media paints India as a

zope is no longer a monolithic framework, but a large collection of libraries, most of which can used outside the main zope framework or even create your own framework. You can use what you want -- the `pay for what you eat` principle. Repo

It's good to have tests, but shouldn't framework level libraries follow some kind of Design by Contract methodologies so that you never break compatibility?

It's the colonial mentality. We lost the entire period of industrial revolution to these imperial tyrants. They just can't be happy without being patronizing about India and Indians.
