According to Irmen de Jong, the AmigaPython website maintainer, the Python programming language may be included as standard with AmigaOS 4.0.
From the AmigaPython site:
UPDATE november 2002: from very reliable sources I know that AmigaPython might become part of the new Amiga OS 4.0 ! What AREXX was for AmigaDOS 2.x and 3.x, AmigaPython might be for the next generation of Amiga OS (and much more powerful of course)
Further information about Python is available at the Python Home Page.

AmigaOS 4.0 to include Python? : Comment 89 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kjetil on 27-Nov-2002 16:11 GMT | In reply to Comment 79 (Hans-Joerg Frieden): Yes some thing like that, except you're example is
more like C# or C++, Java inspired, where you have your ExecSG and HTTPProtocol class, this type languages are used to build apps,
I have noting against them, except they are bit more complicated,
AREXX main idea is to communicated an execute
external commands with in programs it what attaches programs to programs
whit in the AmigaOS, It most be hard to replace it, with out keeping some of the
amiga.lib code, ARexx do not use environment variables as AmigaShell do.
It is my understanding that Perl uses C functions direct and it allows
interfacing with environment variable, this is not how ARexx works.
perl will most likely allow you to use amiga.lib and rexxsys.lib or what
ever it will only be bit more complicated. |
