PrimalScript 2007 Now Available

The venerable PrimalScript gets a new upgrade. This scripting utility and integrated development enviornment is the professional scripter's tool of choice for a single location for all kinds of scripting and development languages.

With three editions starting at $179, you'll probably wonder if the price is worth the result. In my opinion, its worth the couple of dollars. Usually, I don't try to push for-cost tools when no-cost tools are readily available, but its the integratedness of this tool is what really makes it shine.

I've used the Enterprise version of tool quite a bit for my own scripting needs, and have been impressed with its features that speed up the time between, "what do I need to script" and "hey, here's my finished script."
