I agree about the importance of open data formats. See:

As for C++, I certainly do not agree. I spent 6 years programming in C++, and though Java seemed to me to be only an incremental improvement, REXX and then Python came as such a breath of fresh air that I cannot imagine how I programmed in such a straitjacket before. I tried just about every class library under the sun, and nothing even comes within miles of approaching the flexibility and productivity of dynamic languages.
