I find the elitism here too funny. Most people seem to think that using Ruby or LISP makes them superior to thosepoor Java programmers while in the end all they are creating is a web-app like twitter (and of course think they are changing the world with this!). There are many Java programmers that are better than you.
And yes, as mentioned before they are using JVM which means you aren't limited to a single language(Java).
- davidw 19y agoActually, they aren't using the JVM, but the Dalvik VM.
- mich 19y agoYou are right, of course. My mistake.
- michaelneale 19y agoCan we agree to call it Dalek? So much cooler, yet so much more trademarked (unless trademarks expire??)
- sanj 19y agoI appear to have sparked that with my snarky comment about l33t haxxors. What I really meant is that Java is where the broad market of developers is. Much like VB was where the market was, and to some extent, still is.
- omouse 19y ago"There are many Java programmers that are better than you." Most likely because they've studied Haskell, OCaml, Forth, Lisp, or actually know something about computer science. The majority of Java programmers aren't like that though.
- michaelneale 19y agoPresumably thats the law of averages at work. Anything popular will have that effect.
