The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Programming languages polyglots: how many languages you know? Post 302225311 by era on Friday 15th of August 2008 05:47:21 AM
Old 08-15-2008
For my work I need shell / Makefiles, Perl, and regular expressions in particular. Python would be good to know too, but I know Perl well enough that I never really had the incentive to learn yet another language, although I'm planning to fix that. Other than that, I stopped hoarding new languages after I noticed how I was able to get work done in Perl (and finally stopped believing you have to work in a compiled language in order to be taken seriously).

Back at University, I got good marks when I took C, Prolog, and Lisp courses -- oh, and Pascal of course, back then -- , but I could hardly impress anyone with my practical skills in those languages. Emacs Lisp is an environment I enjoy tremendously when I get to dabble with it.

Basic reading comprehension skills in C and C++ never hurt, but I would not know where to start solving a real-world problem, and would be extremely frustrated about the lack of expressive power and standard facilities. I guess a good palette of libraries would ameliorate that a lot, but I don't know any such libraries, and the few I've looked at left a lot to wish for. Ditto in spades for assembly, of course.

Never really seriously tried to tackle Java; somehow I get the impression that people who work in that language are not happy, even though the high amount of reusable libraries looks attractive from a distance.

Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N(3pm)

NAME
Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N - Internationalization plugin SYNOPSIS
# Mojolicious $self->plugin('I18N'); % languages 'de'; %=l 'hello' # Mojolicious::Lite plugin I18N => {namespace => 'MyApp::I18N'}; %=l 'hello' # Lexicon package MyApp::I18N::de; use Mojo::Base 'MyApp::I18N'; our %Lexicon = (hello => 'hallo'); 1; DESCRIPTION
Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N adds Locale::Maketext support to Mojolicious. All you have to do besides using this plugin is to add as many lexicon classes as you need. Languages can usually be detected automatically from the "Accept-Languages" request header. This plugin can save a lot of typing, since it will generate the following code by default. # $self->plugin('I18N'); package MyApp::I18N; use base 'Locale::Maketext'; package MyApp::I18N::en; use base 'MyApp::I18N'; our %Lexicon = (_AUTO => 1); 1; Namespace and default language of generated code are affected by their respective options. The default lexicon class will only be generated if it doesn't already exist. The code of this plugin is a good example for learning to build new plugins, you're welcome to fork it. OPTIONS
Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N supports the following options. "default" # Mojolicious::Lite plugin I18N => {default => 'en'}; Default language, defaults to "en". "namespace" # Mojolicious::Lite plugin I18N => {namespace => 'MyApp::I18N'}; Lexicon namespace, defaults to the application class followed by "::I18N". HELPERS
Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N implements the following helpers. "l" %=l 'hello' $self->l('hello'); Translate sentence. "languages" % languages 'de'; $self->languages('de'); Change languages. METHODS
Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Plugin and implements the following new ones. "register" $plugin->register($app, $conf); Register plugin hooks and helpers in Mojolicious application. SEE ALSO
