[Xapian-discuss] NetBeans and Java Bindings

[Kevin Duraj]

Olly,

Do you think that the shift towards Python and Ruby from Perl is the
cause of world wide economic crisis and global warnings? We all know
that Python and Ruby needs least 2-5 times more CPU and electricity to
consume in order to compute the same amount of data as Perl.

Cheers,
