Productivity and the two language approach

[Laurent POINTAL]

Continue with C++, learn Python (its really easy), then look at CORBA
and link C++ to Python with it (see fnorb as Python ORB, and look at
www.omg.org for free C++ ORBs - I use omniORB2 but there are many
other ORBs).

With that, you can define your work with IDL, start prototyping with
Python, translate what is needed to C++... and call all that from any
other langage and from any other computer.

Its the way I go.

A+

Laurent.
