Hi, I write this with mixed emotions. Sad, because someone told me that work on NVDA has slowed down or stopped. Excited because if I can stick to my guns this time, maybe some day I will be able to contribute. I'd also like to convince any Python hackers out here to contribute to NVDA until I can get there. For anyone who does not like Python, please forgive me. Here are two articles by very respected programmers who have been converted. I value their opinions. Bruce Eckel is the author of the famous 'Thinking in Java' and 'Thinking in C++' books. He says that no language has made him more productive than Python. He says that Python is perhaps the only language that focuses on making things easier for the programmer. Read the complete interview http://www.artima.com/intv/aboutmeP.html Eric S. Raymond is the author of 'The Cathedral and the Bazaar' and is also the person who coined the term 'Open Source'. He says that Python has become his favorite programming language. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3882 Thanks for reading.
