I'm mostly into Python, and decided to have a go at writing a little
accounts package (in python on OS X). It worked in its primitive way,
and I was looking to take it to the next level.
I decided that sqlite was the way to go. For some reason I couldn't get
sqlite3 and the python module to work properly - it didn't seem to
commit the data to the database consistently.
So I thought, what the hell, I'll try Ruby. I switched over to Ubuntu,
because it seemed a bit easier than OS X. First impressions: oh man! The
sqlite package worked fine, and I came across rsqlitegui, which I can
use to inspect the database when coding isn't required.
I think Ruby is a serious serious contender for python.
I'm also in two minds as to whether I should try to switch over from OS
X permanently. I'm new to iMacs, and I have to say that OS X has a nice
polish to it; but then Ubuntu, gotta love those repositories.
