Multi-thread scaling issues with Python and Ruby
With the advent of multi-core processors, CPU bound applications need to use multi-threading in order to be able to scale their performance beyond that offered by a single core. This provides many challenges, but an interesting aspect of this problem is to consider how the threading modules in modern programming languages such as Python and Rubycan either help or hinder this scalability. Yes, there are plenty of other programming languages in use today, but Python and especially Ruby are rapidly rising in popularity and there are some surprising limitations to be aware of when using their threading packages.Multilingual NetBeans: PHP, Python, Scala (Tor Norbye's Weblog)
MySQL 5.1.26-rc released, and developer resources thoughts
Good news, MySQL 5.1.26-rc has been released. From the release notes: “MySQL 5.1.26-rc is slated to be the last release candidate before we declare MySQL 5.1 as “production ready” (GA).”
If I were you, I’d start testing it out in environments that you’re planning to run MySQL in, or upgrade to 5.1 in. Feedback and testing to iron out issues, is important, so if you find a bug that affects you, report it!
In other news, on the Sun Developer Network (SDN) site, there’s a couple of resources such as the Python Developer Center and the Ruby Developer Center. At MySQL, we’ve got the DevZone, focusing on languages such as Ruby and Python, with MySQL use. However, the resources can definitely be improved upon, and maybe there should be more synergy with SDN, if its getting more eyeballs than the DevZone. Thoughts on how to improve resources for developers? Please leave a comment
If you’ve not read Beyond LAMP, don’t hesitate to take a look-see. I learnt that there are a whole bucket-load of Web/App Servers out there.

Presentation : Contrasting java and dynamic languages.
A presentation I made which contrasts java with other dynamic languages such as python, ruby, PHP and also java based languages such as Groovy, JRuby, Jython. This is not a strictly programming oriented contrasting exercise, it instead attempts to look at it from a architects and a managers view as well.Performance Comparison - C++ / Java / Python / Ruby/ Jython / JRuby / Groovy
Performance comparison for a small piece of logic across a number of languages. Some of the interesting findings (I emphasise - in this context) are : Java faster than C++, Java about a 100 times faster than Python / Ruby, JRuby faster than Ruby 1.9, Ruby 1.9 twice as fast as Python, Python / Ruby faster than Groovy, and PHP and Jython bringing up the rear.
