That survey is better than most others that are really dumb for being
based on mere polls. The survey at /. makes comparisons giving reasons
and looks like an attempt to do intelligent comparative analysis of
scripting tools. At present, the most routine dumb tasks are
delegated to scripts and computer programs, and when the programs get
smart, there won't be much of a future for programmers. Until then,
keeping a tab on these surveys could help users or non-professionals to
set their priorities. Besides, I do hope some experts can improve those
comparative tables, making them more exhaustive, which could lead to
scripts that enable translation of scripts from one language to another
wherever possible and needed.
