MySQL on Mac OS X

Apple recently posted this article: MySQL on Mac OS X: An Ideal Development Combination:

According to Brian Aker, Director of Architecture for MySQL AB, “Frankly I think Mac OS X is the best platform for doing development today. It gives you the best mix of development tools and required business applications.”

Amen to that. Developing on this Windows box at work is like exercising in a straitjacket. Okay, okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but in all reality, developing on OS X is so much better that the comparison feels well-warranted. And today I get a Mac at work. It’s a PowerMac G4 (or so I hear), so it’s older, but it’s still a Mac and it should do what I need it to do. Mmm. Mmm.
