Offers an interpreted language, which doesn't require compilation and good community support
Glue is not mandatory. It's an option. If you have the learning capability to learn Glue quickly, you can go for it. But there are other alternatives where you will find many articles, study material, and certifications on the internet, apart from Glue. So, if Glue is not mandatory for you, go for something else. If you don't have any other option, go for Glue. But it's not easy because Glue is difficult to learn, and it is difficult to remember the syntax. Every time you need support, if you're going to have a bigger integration or connectivity with third-party libraries or services, you won't find many articles or help on the internet. However, the community is there, but you need to spend some time with them to make them understand the issue. Keeping all these points in mind, I would still suggest that if you have an alternative language to go for, you should go for it. Otherwise, go for Glue. It is not easy for a beginner to learn to use Glue for the first time. There are a few videos and courses available, but it's difficult. It's not as easy as other languages, also in terms of available content. So, it's a bit hard. But once you understand the concept, then you can potentially grasp things further. Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten because I didn't use Glue for all purposes. I used it mainly for integration and service connectivity.
