I absolutely agree! Pike is awesome. Actually, I've picked up
something of a reputation at work and various places for advocating
Pike for everything from quick scripts to embedded servers to database
manipulators/versioners to interactive calculators... its main
boasting-feature, though, being the ability to easily reload altered
code without shutting the application down. I have a server that's
been running for 96 weeks and a smidge so far; nary a glitch and
plenty of code changes. The Pike development community is small but
very helpful.
