Giving up on PHP

I have given up on PHP. I will still need to use it at my job, but in private I refuse to even touch it anymore. Lately, I’ve been busy creating a framework, or a bunch of libraries actually, which where meant to negate some of PHP’s worst qualities. It had better error reporting (the […]

GadflyB5: SQL Relational Database in Python

Gadfly is a SQL Relational Database that supports a large set of the SQL standard. It keeps the database in-memory while operating on it. It’s also completely written in Python (with the use of some Python/C modules). I don’t know why it’s cool, but it is.

Python documentation drawback solved: DOH

One of my main issues with Python was the terrible documentation. The module reference manual often omitted various methods and other details. It’s even completely down right now. Turns out though that this problem is quite easily solved by the ‘pydoc’ utility. I’d already used pydoc to generate documentation for my own programs, kind of […]
