   I can't report on this, but assuming you need a unit test package for C++ I can tell you that UnitTest++[1] was very easy to pick up for me (after not having done any C++ for 10+ years). [1] http://unittest-cpp.sourceforge.net/

   Isn't being able to give functions as a default keyword argument more or less obvious when functions are first-class objects instead of it being insane? It's something that I use several times in any decent sized project. For my bot for th

   Kesmai! Now there's a name I didn't expect to see that high up the list. I paid up to $10 per hour to play Air Warrior[1] against people from other countries, at least until I found a cheaper route to the much more populated US servers (c

   I don't specifically hate Java the language, although I'm not enamoured with it either. I do hate the whole culture / attitude and baggage that comes with the language if you have to use it in an enterprise environment. That same culture th

    Far be it from me to defend the copyright industry but I do like to point out that in the early 1800's 36 years was actually the average lifetime of an individual (at least here in Europe).

    First of all, various members of the Lisp family are used for major developments. Secondly, rewriting Emacs would be a major undertaking and which modern language would it be? My choice would be Common Lisp, for other developers it would b

    Emacs + Slime for CL should be a piece of cake as long as you don't insist on using your distribution's packages. Mail me (see profile) when you run into any problems and I'll help you out.
