thinking that perhaps I should attempt to learn a modern scripting
language and seem to of settled on the choice of Ruby or Python (though I
could probably still be swayed elsewhere if something else was a better
fit) Given that the majority of my work has a DNS slant on it somewhere
I wondered what you guys experiences/preferences were in this area.
They of course have some kind of DNS library but I wondered how many of
you had used them and whether your experiences had been good/bad in
either direction.<br>

python is the more marketable skill, of python vs. ruby.<br>
<br>
i rarely write code any more but when i do it's Perl with Net::DNS.
this, also, is a less marketable skill than python and pydns, at this
stage of the game.<br>
<br>
if you're doing this for love, try them all (ESPECIALLY "go"!) and see
which one grabs you.<br>
<br>
if you're doing it for relevance and compatibility and code re-use and
code sharing, use python.<br>
