[BioEdu] Lanuages and environments

[Deanne Taylor]

I'm a Python and C++ person, myself. Python for CGI works OK, though slower
than Perl on some executables.

I know some groups at the Broad Institute who are working a lot with Jython
as well.

As an aside, on the comment about "loose" programming languages in
bioinformatics -- I met a guy at Proctor & Gamble who was doing
bioinformatics with FORTRAN. :)
