Ok I'm sick of it now. Too many new languages in too little time.
Getting to know all of these languages was fun, but now I actually want to make something.
I ported my comicgrab code to Erlang and I'm going to continue writing in Erlang. It has a nice growing community, lots of resources on the web, good documentation and books and most importantly these days; it doesn't give me a headache when I work with it for longer than an hour.
I've blogged not so long ago that Erlang was 'too easy'. A lot of people misunderstood what I meant by that. I wanted a challenge in the form of 'solving an easy problem with a difficult to use tool'.
Turns out all that does is give you a headache. So now I'm going to solve this not-so-easy-problem-when-you-think-about-it with an easy to use tool. Easier than all the other ones I've tried anyway. So out with all the new languages I won't use anyway, and in with the old Erlang I've already used for a couple of non-trivial things and have loved ever since.
