How many times have you decided not to write a program to do something just because it’ll just take to long to make it worthwhile? Not anymore! I’m still learning but I’ve gone though the manual, and I had the basics down in less then an hour (yes, it really is that quick to pick up if your not new to programing).

You can do in a few lines of code what it take pages to do in C or any of the scripting languages I’ve used in the past. Don’t get me wrong though it’s no replacement for C but if you want to manipulate data quickly and easily for one time use it’s the way to go. One more tool in the belt to up that productivity ;-)
