When I first opened this I thought it would be an interesting dialogue on how langs/class libraries are blurring the boundaries with operating systems... Particularly with this "is the internet the os?" thinking floating about.
However, it's not that discussion at all - Was more along the lines "Java is like DOS because it's popular, and DOS sucked for all these other reasons (UI), therefore Java sucks"...
Metaphor can be pretty handy sometimes, but this just seems very labored.
- ComputerGuru 18y agoExactly. None of the conclusions he drew about C# or Java are especially true. C# is one of the most reliable frameworks I see, and to say that OOP scripting languages are "better" than Java/C# (as Mac is to Dos) is BS.
