He's saying exactly the opposite - he's saying that Java the language (not JVM - he never actually mentions the JVM at all) is on the rise. Java is very much not turning into a "high-level assembly" language and is not dead or dying.
I'm not sure how a language with garbage collection, lambdas now in Java8 and the kind of DI you get with Guice can possibly be considered anything but a high level language.
- coolsunglasses 13y agoYou really need to learn a functional language.
- unclebucknasty 13y agoBoth of you make valid points. It's all relative.
- RyanZAG 13y agoSo a functional language is somehow 'higher level'? You need to go look up the definition for 'high level language'. Also, feel free to check out Nitro, a low level functional programming language. http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/stg/workshops/TFP/papers/ClarkTFP2003.pdf http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/stg/workshops/TFP/papers/Clark...
