  In what world is Java halfway to lisp?
  • dang 10y ago
    The world of its time.
  • wglb 10y ago
    In a world filled with COBOL, C, Powerbuilder, CICS. Oh, and TELON.

      And there may have also been a language GOOFBOL (where BOL is Business Oriented Language), but I may have just made that up.
