A Java Fork-Join Calamity
- masklinn 15y agoArticle is pretty badly written and disorganized, and produces little in way of actual facts, use cases, or code. Not to mention, author has a conflict of interest since his company is developing (and selling training/consulting for, I'd guess) a Fork-Join framework. Not saying he does not have a point, but you'd have to hunt that point in the forests of non-sequiturs and the underbrush of irrelevance.
- captain-asshat 15y agoAre we reading the same article? He has an ordered, referenced critique that explains exactly why java's fork/join doesn't belong in the JDK. I don't think it's really appropriate to call this a conflict of interest; industry professionals do this all the time. Java should be under special scrutiny from the smartest people we have, now that it's owned by Oracle. I don't know where you get the impression that this is badly written, but in my opinion this outshines much of the writing we see on HN.
