Chris Nandor, the author of a MacPerl book posted a table, derived from one here on Scripting News, comparing MacPerl, Frontier and AppleScript.

My table was part of an essay saying that AppleScript and Frontier were so different as to not be comparable. I think Chris stretches a lot to make a point. Yes, Perl is great. But it is not the same thing as Frontier.

Eric Soroos, a Frontier user who also knows Perl, posted an email with his view of this comparison. And then Wesley Felter checked in.

What's needed? An unbiased, objective, independent analysis of the scripting market. I'm obviously not the person to do that. {qbullet.imageref ("sidesmiley")}

If you're operating a website with Frontier with 20,000 or more pages in the object database, please send a message to bierman@userland.com. Thanks!
