Another libxml/libxslt related article on xml.com. This time about XML::LibXML the perl wrapper done by Matt Sergeant. Coincidence ? seems Matt restarted working on the Perl modules and AXKit lately, at least he's back on xml@gnome.org asking for cleanups in the C libraries. I should also release a new libxslt version fixing the small missing #define - impressive how people can get stuck on very simple C issues.

Seems Mono is making fast progress, the compiler starts working on Linux, hey I should give it a try! I read a small book on C# back in July and the language looked nice.

However did some Python code this week. I really like this language, the set of libraries are good (though I don't like too much their XML default interfaces, not a big deal).I find the language to be convenient, compact but readable, and the object orientation features are well integrated and make the whole thing really pleasant.
