Just because its tired, doesn't mean it isn't true.

Just because its tired, doesn't mean it isn't true.
- eternalban 12y agoI have actually audited systems by "big companies" written in other, e.g. C#, languages. (p.s. Try "it's")
- bkeroack 12y agoC# is Microsoft's Java. How many Python, Go, Ruby or Haskell projects have you audited at "big companies"?
- eternalban 12y agoRuby and Python are everywhere in the enterprise. Haskell is currently "useless" [1] for the enterprise for the obvious human resource reasons. [1]: https://youtu.be/iSmkqocn0oQ https://youtu.be/iSmkqocn0oQ
- codygman 12y ago> the obvious human resource reasons Can you elaborate on these?
- eternalban 12y agoWhy bother? Count the down votes in this thread and then note the number of thoughtful rebuttals. (But for the record, imo Haskell is a glorious language.)
- jpitz 12y agoI have actually authored systems at big and small companies in: C# VB Pascal Java Python Ruby JavaScript My point was not that big companies don't use languages other than Java. My point was that the tired cliche of Java dominating at big companies is entirely warranted. If I implied that Java penetration at large enterprises is 100%, then there is a lot more wrong with my writing than a missing apostrophe.
